School Notes:
- What began in the early 1990’s as one man’s dream is today a glowing and growing reality: a vibrant, independent Christian school, set on a beautiful 180-acre campus in East Texas, with a three-fold mission that permeates every aspect of Brook Hill’s existence. That mission? To provide excellence in college preparatory education, affirm the gifts and challenge the potential of each student, and encourage students to honor God through Christ-like character. Although Brook Hill is a non-denominational Christian school, the Bible is studied for credit, and students attend Chapel services weekly. The academic doors were opened in the fall of 1997 with 31 students in grades six, seven, and eight. A grade level was added each year until reaching a full complement of PreK through twelve in the fall of 2005. An international/domestic boarding program was established in the summer of 2003, and Brook Hill has now hosted more than thirty students from China, Japan, Korea, Kosovo, Mexico, South Africa, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Less than a two-hour drive from Brook Hill is Dallas, a major, multicultural city and hub for national and international flights. Students enjoy the day-to-day benefits of our quiet country setting, as well as our close proximity to all that Dallas has to offer.
