School Notes Overview: |
Brookfield School is a co-educational day school for 200+ students. Serving pre-school through eighth grade. The school was founded in Sacramento in 1962 and opened in Reno, Nevada in 1978, and serves a diverse student body. The school is committed to the educational needs of the community. Brookfield School is an academically challenging school with a learn-to-read, all day Kindergarten, which we call Pre-First. To meet the ever changing needs of our families, we have included a very small Pre-School to serve our parents and introduce to 3 and 4 year olds a more exciting and challenging , yet fun-filled day. It is a step above the typical pre-school curriculum. Our Before and After School Care is now a popular, growing program. In addition we have weekly sessions of Summer School that are relaxed and fun. It is designed to serve all students, to enrich the talented students, and to develop interest in the arts as well.
