Brooksfield School

We encourage children to be confident in who they are and who they are becoming. With the belief that we are all individuals with unique gifts and talents, we as educators have the joy of helping each child discover the sense of wonder that lies within. Everyday provides a range of opportunities for children to grow into their potential and to express themselves in a natural, spontaneous fashion. Brooksfield is founded on the belief that learning happens through the joys of mutual friendships, stimulating experiences and self-discovery.

Brooksfield School is committed to promoting sustainability in everything we do, from the classroom to the playground. We aim to create healthy, eco-friendly learning environments for our children while instilling in them the importance of environmental stewardship. We are taking a number of steps to reduce our schools environmental impact. As we gain more knowledge and implement green practices, we will continue to share that knowledge with our students and their families. Our goals in greening our school include:
Creating a culture of green in our everyday school life
Integrating eco-education into our regular curriculum
