Brookfield School is a co-educational day school for 200+ students. Serving pre-school through eighth grade. The school was founded in Sacramento in 1962 and opened in Reno, Nevada in 1978, and serves a diverse student body. The school is committed to the educational needs of the community. Brookfield School is an academically challenging school with a learn-to-read, all day Kindergarten, which we call Pre-First.
To meet the ever changing needs of our families, we have included a very small Pre-School to serve our parents and introduce to 3 and 4 year olds a more exciting and challenging , yet fun-filled day. It is a step above the typical pre-school curriculum. Our Before and After School Care is now a popular, growing program. In addition we have weekly sessions of Summer School that are relaxed and fun. It is designed to serve all students, to enrich the talented students, and to develop interest in the arts as well.
Brookfield School is committed to the overall development of each child. To this end we provide strong academic instruction in the basic skills as well as a wide variety of cultural and aesthetic experiences within a success oriented program.
Because there are great differences among children of the same age, factors other than chronological age are considered in planning a program to meet the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical need of individuals in the classroom.
We believe that children learn best in a safe environment in which individuality is treasured, in which children are encouraged to respond to the needs of others, and in which adult-child interpersonal relationships are characterized by mutual respect, affection and genuine concern for the welfare of others
If ever there was a cause, if ever there can be a cause worthy to be upheld by all of the toil and sacrifice that the human hand or breast can endure, it is the cause of education.- Horace Mann

The curriculum at Brookfield is designed to insure that children are encouraged to develop to the fullest of their potential. Their needs are met through an exceptionally broad and diversified sequence of both planned and informal experiences. The desired outcome of the program is development of the personal and intellectual qualities which will facilitate entry into secondary and post-secondary study. This will encourage broad, rich, and successful relationships and subsequently influence their chosen careers and family life.
| The child should develop a strong sense of self-worth which is essential for the satisfying, productive participation in society. |
| The child should master the basic skills which are necessary as a foundation for study in various academic disciplines while internalizing self-discipline and love of learning necessary for self motivation for life long learning. |
| The child should develop an appreciation for and an understanding of the cultural heritage in music, drama, art aesthetics which enrich the individual's personal and social experience. |
| The child should develop a high degree of self-discipline which is requisite for rational decision making. |
| The child should develop the courage to try and the willingness to risk imperfection. |
| to feel responsible for their own behavior, |
| to evaluate their own progress, |
| to make their own decisions, |
| to accept efforts of self and others, |
| to stay with tasks, |
| to use talents and efforts for the good of all, not only for personal gain, |

| We attack the problem - not the person |
| We listen to each person |
| We care about each other's feelings |
| We are responsible for what we say and do |
