School Notes

At The Brook Hill School, students are known, challenged, and given opportunities to discover all that they can be.
Serving students from PreK through Grade 12, with boarding beginning in Grade 8, Brook Hill brings together a close-knit East Texas community and students from around the world in a school where academic growth, meaningful relationships, and Christ-like character matter.Our goal extends beyond preparing students for college.
We want students to find their people, discover their gifts, grow in confidence and character, and leave Brook Hill prepared for lives of purpose.
Students are known here. Small classes, a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, Advisory, Houses, and invested faculty create an environment where students are more than a number. Teachers know their strengths, recognize when they need support, and challenge them to grow.
Students find their place. Championship athletics, award-winning fine arts, academic competitions, clubs, leadership opportunities, and a globally diverse student body give students many ways to connect, contribute, and discover where they thrive.
Learning extends beyond the classroom. Through experiences such as the Brook Hill School of Business, American Freedom Museum, Robotics Lab, Fabrication Studio, Media Center, service opportunities, and SPARC experiential-learning courses, students connect what they learn to real-world ideas, problems, and possibilities.
Students are challenged and prepared. Brook Hill combines individualized attention with a rigorous college-preparatory program that includes 27 AP and Dual Credit courses.
Our graduates are accepted to colleges and universities across the country, from Texas A&M, UT Austin, Baylor, TCU, and SMU to Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Duke, Rice, Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley, USC, and many more.
Character has a purpose here. Brook Hill is a Christian school where faith shapes how we learn, lead, serve, and treat one another.
Students are challenged to live out the Guard Charge: Live Pure.Speak True.
Right Wrong.
Serve Others.
Follow The King.
The world comes to Brook Hill. Our boarding program brings students from more than 30 countries annually to East Texas, creating a campus rich in cultures, perspectives, friendships, and experiences.
Day and boarding students learn alongside one another and build relationships that reach far beyond Texas.
Brook Hill is a place to be known, find your circle, discover your potential, and prepare for what comes next. The best way to understand it is to experience it for yourself.

At The Brook Hill School, we believe the people around a student can shape who that student becomes. That's why we have built a school where students are known, challenged, encouraged, and given countless opportunities to discover what they are capable of.
We call it finding your circle.
Located on a beautiful 252-acre campus in East Texas, Brook Hill serves students in PreK through Grade 12 and brings together families from across East Texas with students from around the world. Our mission is 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.
Find people who really know you. Small classes and a 9:1 student-teacher ratio allow teachers to know students beyond a grade or test score. Our faculty, coaches, directors, and mentors invest in students personally - recognizing their strengths, encouraging them through challenges, and helping them discover thier potential.
Find what challenges you. Brook Hill offers a rigorous college-preparatory education designed to develop confident thinkers, communicators, problem-solvers, and leaders. Students have access to 27 AP and Dual Credit courses as well as distinctive hands-on learning experiences through programs and spaces such as The Brook Hill Business Program, American Freedom Museum, Robotics Lab, Fabrication Studio and Media Center as well as the approach of our teachers in thier classrooms. Our goal isn't simply to prepare students to get into college; it's to prepare them to thrive when they get there and in the life that follows.
Find opportunity.There is no single way to be a Brook Hill student. A student's circle might form on an athletic team, backstage at a musical, in an art studio, around a robotics project, through an academic competition, in a club, through service, or simply around a lunch table.Brook Hill students compete in championship-caliber athletics, create and perform through an award-winning Arts program, participate in academic competitions, clubs, organizations, and leadership opportunities, and discover new interests alongside friends who encourage them to grow.
Find a family. Students don't simply attend Brook Hill, they become part ofa bigger world.One of the most distinctive parts of the Brook Hill experience is our global community. Students from more than 30 countries annually have called Brook Hill home through our Boarding Program. For our East Texas day students, that means the world becomes part of everyday school life. Friendships, classrooms, teams, performances, and conversations bring together students with different cultures, experiences, and perspectives - all as part of one ALL-ORANGE Family.
Find your purpose. At Brook Hill, who a student becomes matters as much as what a student accomplishes. Our Christian faith is woven into the life of the school, from the classroom and athletic field to chapel, service, mentorship, and everyday relationships.Students are challenged to develop Christ-like character and to live out the Guard Charge: Live Pure. Speak True. Right Wrong. Serve Others. Follow The King.
Our hope is that students leave Brook Hill knowing more than what they have learned. We want them to know their strengths. To know how to think. To know how to lead and serve. To have experienced adults who believed in them and friends who challenged them. And to be prepared to step confidently into college and life with character and purpose.
At Brook Hill, students find more than a school.They find their people. They find their opportunities. They find their purpose. They find their circle.

Brook Hill has been an incredible school for Pre-K. My son is already learning sight words, and he feels loved and safe every day at school. There are 14 kids in his class, a full-time teacher and a full-time aid. He receives an incredible amount of individual attention. The students are also so kind. When he walks into a class in the morning, his friends give him hugs and say hello. He has fun every day - with recess, PE, music, art, library, and even a makers space (brand new this semester!). The best part is that the Gospel is woven into every aspect of his education. It's not just a chapel or a prayer before lunch, but a whole environment where Christ is first. We are here for life, and I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to attend.

My daughter is in the middle school at BH and we have attended since third grade. We are very pleased with the level of academics and extracurricular activities offered by BH in a Christian environment. Our daughter has excelled with their program and has all A's along with being involved in sports, the arts and clubs. The teachers are excellent and we also like the extra activities such as field trips to other parts of Texas, college tours, etc. The school is small but has a feel of a college campus. We live in Tyler and it's only a 15 min. drive from the South part of town. I thoroughly looked at all other private schools in Tyler and actually came from a different one and this one is the best without a doubt.
