Brookridge Day School

Brookridge Day School is a private Preschool — 3^rd Grade elementary in central Overland Park. My son just finished 3^rd grade here and I would make the same decision to send him here again for elementary school. It’s not cheap, $ 10K/​Yr for tuition and incidentals. The administration, staff and teachers have a true love for teaching children. The curriculum focuses on core academics and personal responsibility. I am amazed at the mature behaviors displayed by small children in understanding concepts such as fairness, bullying, coping with adversity, etc…
Many times I have heard my son talk about a troubling issue and then say he just had to determine how to deal with it. He didn’t complain that is was unfair or wrong, he just accepted the situation and decided to move forward. I give credit to the emphasis on personal accountability that Brookridge brings to their curriculum.
I manage 50 year old professionals that have less mature coping skills!
Brookridge has achieved 100% attainment of academic standard each year that such a thing has been measured.
Dr Brown and her staff display the patience of saints and the determination of yeomen; they tackle a tough job with a smile and a hug for each child.
I witnessed nearly 100 children aged 4 – 9 stage a 2 hour complex, choreographed musical performance yesterday. I witnessed dozens of solo performances, mass choreography and 3^rd graders giving presentations to 200+ parents summarizing the events of the school year. I can not fathom the amount of preparation that is required to stage such as event.
Bottom line, Brookridge is a great place that is focused on holistically educating and preparing your child for life…
