Middle School

Creating Critical and Creative Thinkers

We are very proud of our school, students and teachers and want to provide a small overview of our dynamic program. I know some of you think back to your own experiences in Middle School and view these adolescent years as challenging. Those of us who work directly with Middle School students at Brookfield Academy have a different understanding of kids this age, believing this is a time for students to develop their intellect, individuality and character. We often refer to your student as a “work in progress” who is ultimately prepared to enter and succeed in our Upper School program. Middle School students expand their basic skills, knowledge, and identify reasoning skills in preparation for Upper School.

Brookfield Academy Middle School students complete two years of Latin, study U.S. history, read classic novels, write extensively across all content areas, and build a solid foundation of science and math skills. Whether they are honing their problem solving talents across the curriculum, participating in our award winning economic simulation, or performing dramatic scenes in English class, students learn to stretch their minds in new ways.

The BA Way

Parents and students alike often raise the question, “Why Brookfield Academy?” Here are some reasons to consider our unique program for your student:

Our teachers take time to get to know each child. We stress character and individual growth. It is our goal for students to develop a sense of personal responsibility that will serve them as they move on to Upper School and beyond. We believe our Middle School prepares the foundation for the 100% graduation rate to a four-year college/university after graduating from the Upper School.
Small class sizes ensure that we provide individual attention in class and through our advisory program. Our student/advisor ratio is one advisor for every 10-12 students. This allows for a safe and nurturing learning environment for students to engage in classroom and advisory discussions.
Brookfield Academy Middle School offers numerous athletic and club opportunities. Students are encouraged to choose from many different sports, clubs and drama options so they can discover their talents. We offer a “no-cut” policy in our activities program and a large percentage of students participate in several activities.
We are so proud of our student accomplishments. Our students are recognized regionally and nationally for accomplimsnets in Cretamen, the MathCOUNTS club, National Language Exams, and Forensics just to name a few. These results are a true testament of our student and teacher commitment to education.
