What is a Charter School?
Designed and operated by educators, parents, community leaders, and others, Charter Schools are
independent public schools. They are chartered by the State Board of Education, which monitors their
quality and integrity. Charter Schools design and deliver programs tailored to educational excellence
and community needs. As schools of choice, they are held to the highest level of accountability.

Every Child Matters
On the very first day your child enters
the doors of Brooks Academy, they will
receive the individual attention necessary
to help them succeed. An academic mentor
is assigned to your child who will remain
an integral part of their career at Brooks
Academy, assuming a role in partnership
with you, your student and the school
to prepare your child for a positive and
rewarding educational experience. Each
mentor belongs to a ‘house’ which means
your child will be assigned to one of four
‘houses’ competing throughout the year
with one ‘house’ claiming the prestigious
title of ‘House Champion’ at the end of the
year. Points are earned from ‘good deeds’ to
academic and intramural competition.

“Brooks Academy is a great school. My daughter is a freshman now (her fourth year at Brooks) and is doing very well. The school has made changes over the past few years. The Principal is not afraid to make any changes that will benefit his students and staff. As a parent I am glad to be involved in the school functions showing my support for all the students. Since I have chosen Brooks for my child to learn and grow, the school has become a family for us and I am very passionate about Brooks Academy. I just learned that the school is be adding 4th and 5th grades as of January 2011. What a wonderful opportunity for your young child. Don't miss out on becoming a part of the Brooks Academy family.”
