 Continent Rotation Study

At Brookview School, we engage in an integrated three-year continent study that involves all aspects of the study of culture and geography.  Each year, our entire school engages in the study of a couple of continents in depth, such that over the three years a child spends in a program, he will have studied all seven continents and be ready to move on to the next program - and begin the rotation once again.  Read more...

Field Trips

Many traditions enrich all students' experiences. Each year our students participate in field trips that expand on and enrich their classroom learning. Our field trips have included visits to universities, science centers, libraries, hatcheries, orchards and regional theater productions. Upper elementary students attend an overnight environmental education excursion and follow up with environmental studies throughout the year.
