About Brookwood School

Brookwood is an Early Childhood through Grade 8 independent school of about 300 students on the coast of the North Shore of Boston. At Brookwood, confidence isn’t taught — it’s cultivated. Our program invites students to think deeply, act with empathy, and engage boldly with the world around them. It’s a place where intellect and imagination thrive side by side, and where children discover the courage to question, the skill to create, and the character to lead. Our 110 faculty and staff bring that same spirit of confidence and care to their work every day. They collaborate joyfully, innovate thoughtfully, and go the extra mile to do what’s best for kids — shaping a community where everyone is known, valued, and inspired to grow. The Campus Brookwood is located 25 miles north of Boston on the coast in Manchester, MA on a beautiful 30-acre wooded campus. The physical plant includes a pond, wetland spaces, forest areas, and open green space. The 130,000 square foot facility sits under one roof with construction ranging from the original 1900 stable (now housing grades 5-8) to the 2014 state-of-the-art lower school, a dining commons, and kitchen. In addition to grade l...evel classrooms, there are five outdoor classrooms, two music rooms, three art studios and a kiln room, four science labs and science gym, a newly renovated library with a 15,000 volume collection, an Idea Lab, a gymnasium and a multi-purpose theater/gymnasium space, a dance studio, two synthetic turf fields, and well-appointed outdoor play spaces. The surrounding area of Cape Ann is filled with beautiful natural and historical attractions such as beaches, parks, preserves, museums, and hiking trails that are used frequently by our students, employees, and families alike.
