Founded in 1956 and located on the Beverly/Manchester line, Brookwood is a co-ed day school for Pre-Kindergarten through grade 8.  For more than 50 years, Brookwood has been instilling in students a lifelong love of learning and graduating academically accomplished individuals of conscience, character and compassion.  Brookwood believes in balance: rigor with compassion, excellence with exhuberance, and self discovery along with sensitivity to others.  "Our graduates remain well prepared for the future in large part because they have felt physically healthy, personally recognized and emotionally safe in their elementary school," remarks Head of School John Peterman.  Brookwood's 400 students come from more than 30 communities.
