About Us

A Quality Education

Brookwood Elementary has a strong tradition of academic excellence and student success. Our test scores consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state. Teachers, students, and parents work together to ensure that all children become successful, self-reliant, curious, responsible, and prepared to meet their next challenge. The Utah State Core Curriculum is thoughtfully and systematically implemented to develop the whole child—mind, body, and character. Brookwood is a community of motivated learners and dedicated educators, committed to providing rich, global educational experiences and opportunities that prepare students to become lifelong learners.

Teaching and Learning

The faculty at Brookwood Elementary is composed of experienced instructors with advanced degrees as well as new teachers who bring fresh perspectives and insights. Teachers are organized into grade-level teams, where collaboration creates countless opportunities for professional growth and innovation.

Our PTA and parent volunteer involvement is second to none. Brookwood volunteers contribute a wealth of knowledge and experience that helps sharpen and expand young minds. On-site training further enhances the value of their time and expertise, making their support an essential part of our success.

Brookwood provides a safe, supportive environment that empowers every member of our school family to develop individual talents. Through a balanced and comprehensive curriculum—including mathematics, reading, spelling, English, composition, science, health, art, music, physical education, social studies, and technological competencies—we prepare students for success in school and in life.
