Brooks students are academic, athletic, and artistic; they are
creative, analytical, and curious; they are leaders, thinkers, and
motivators. As different as they are when they arrive, Brooks students
have in common a desire to take full advantage of the extraordinary

| | If the thought of exploring environmental science at a laboratory in northern Canada excites you, then you are definitely a Brooks learner.
Our curriculum, while traditional in subject matter, emphasizes hands-on learning. Students here watch foreign-language television in our language lab, produce anthologies in our English electives, build remote control vehicles, wade through tidal pools, maintain a weather station, make documentaries, paint wall-sized murals, compete in public speaking contests, and stage political debates.
And learning continues into the summer months when students have the opportunity to join teams of scientists at Harvard and MIT, as well as an environmental field station in Quebec. At Brooks, you need more than a three-ring binder to get through a day of learning. |
