“Every child can learn and has the right to be taught in the way that he or she learns best.”
Founder Yvonne Tuttle Streit
We offer a traditional school setting with extracurricular activities ensuring that your child is well-rounded, thriving, and successful.
Our Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools provide instruction the way students learn best while striving to remediate weaknesses.
Our learning environment lets students achieve success through our diagnostic-prescriptive approach that aims to teach the whole child.
At Briarwood we start our journey by identifying how your child learns best. Through intensive instruction, we strive to remediate weaknesses while teaching to each child’s strengths. This approach can lead to stronger academic skills and increased self esteem.
LOWER SCHOOL (K-5TH)
While our approach to teaching and learning is both diagnostic and prescriptive, our Lower School recognizes childhood as an important stage in a student’s social and emotional journey.
MIDDLE SCHOOL (6TH-8TH)
Our Middle School program nurtures the spark ignited by our Lower School program, providing ongoing support for students to continue their learning journey with the same enthusiasm and love for learning.
UPPER SCHOOL (9-12TH)
The Upper school provides a full secondary experience through rigorous academics, robust extracurricular experiences, and college preparatory skills while continuing to accommodate the individual needs of all learners.
My daughter's entire life has changed since starting Briarwood. My child entered the school will zero confidence in herself, hated school, anxiety trough the roof, and barely making it through the school day. Now, my daughter leaps out of bed to go to school, is confident reading aloud, can do her homework by herself, feels comfortable asking for help at school, jumps in the car after school excited to share what she learned that day, and has made friends.
Over the past two years, our hopes for our child have been realized. Smaller class sizes at Briarwood provide crucial individualized attention for his core subjects. During the intermediate years, our child had a mentor who nurtured his curiosity in social studies and science, and he placed in the science fair! We witness the time and effort the Briarwood faculty gives to empower students to reach their maximum potential.
The Briarwood School is committed to providing a diverse, inclusive and equitable learning experience for our students.We value the diversity of the community and will continue to celebrate, engage, reach and retain as well as explore differences in experiences based on, but not limited to, racial, socioeconomic, gender, age, country of origin, culture, sexuality, physical ability, and religious diversity amongst our staff and students. We promote acceptance of learning differences and disabilities and celebrate the many positive experiences and viewpoints that diversity brings to our school community in all of its forms. Our respect for diversity is reflected in our mission, programming, community involvement, admissions, and hiring practices.
