The Bromley Brook boarding school for girls course of study is a demanding college preparatory academic curriculum. Our unique approach to curriculum design makes science, mathematics, technology, and expressive arts accessible to all students. All elements of our curriculum promote self-regulation and vital results based learning.

When a student enters Bromley Brook boarding school for girls we develop an Individualized Learning Plan within six weeks of her arrival at the school, based on her unique learning styles, strengths and challenges. For example, an auditory learning style may mean that a student absorbs knowledge best through lecture and discussion. Visual learners grasp material through reading and film, whereas a kinesthetic learner likes a "hands-on" approach in her classes. Some students will use a combination of learning styles.

The faculty at Bromley Brook boarding school for girls does not take a "one size fits all" approach to education. Every student's individuality as well as her interests and talents are taken into consideration when her Individualized Learning Plan is created. Regular tutoring sessions and daily study periods provide her with the discipline necessary to reach her academic goals.

Curriculum design incorporates the best, time-tested college prep-courses with professional mentoring and supports that promote success for all students as individuals. Bromley Brook School curriculum emphasizes science, math and computer technology taught in a female-friendly environment. Our students will learn to excel in fields traditionally underrepresented by women.
