The Brook Hill School has welcomed students grades 8 through 12 from countries such as Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Kosovo, China, Ghana, Angola, Mexico, Macedonia, and, of course, the USA. The Village at Brook Hill offers two boarding houses, one for girls and one for boys.
Residential facilities in The Village at Brook Hill afford students a lifestyle which is like living at home. Rather than traditional dormitories, students live in comfortable, residential-style houses that include the types of amenities they might find in their own homes: spacious bedroom suites, with wireless Internet access and private bath facilities, a common kitchen, game room, sitting room with fireplace, laundry facilities, and more. In fact, student residences in The Village at the Brook are specifically designed to help foster the feeling among residents that they are part of “one big, happy family.”
Heading up each residence are experienced, full-time house parents, who have their own private quarters, but also share common areas with students. Pocket doors between the house parent quarters and common areas allow for privacy when needed, while making available the opportunity for quality interaction between house parents and students during casual times of the day
House Parents play an integral role in the Brook Hill boarding students’ lives supervising students’ academic progress, ensuring that they focus on their studies, and helping them to obtain any needed extra help. Also, House Parents plan and lead off-campus activities on weekends, serve as adult mentors - offering a listening ear to students when they need to talk, counsel on personal matters, and support as they tackle daily challenges.
We’re excited about the experiences that at being shared and the friendships that are being formed in our student residences at The Village at the Brook. We love to greet Brook Hill boarders with a heartfelt, “Welcome home!”
