Summary: The Brooks curriculum encourages students to venture into new and unfamiliar areas and to proceed to the highest level in as many fields as possible. We aspire to educate the whole person for a life of responsible citizenship. The Brooks curriculum provides students with a broad-based academic experience in preparation for university. In addition, students develop skills and habits of the mind that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Ideally, all students will enroll in courses in the five major disciplines for all four years of high school. Students are also encouraged to pursue their interests in the arts throughout their career at Brooks.

Summary: The college process at Brooks encourages and supports introspection and is student-centered, focused on fit. Students are guided in exploring who they are, what matters to them, what they like, what they want, and where they might want to spend the undergraduate years. Through a series of one-on-one meetings, form meetings and mini-classes, they examine their interests, identify strengths and weaknesses as well as personal priorities as a way of knowing themselves better and researching schools of interest.
