It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that all required information has been submitted to the Admissions Office. A student's file must be complete before it can be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. K4, Pre-first, and First grade applicants must also submit a copy of their birth certificate.
Admissions Application:
The student application is available online at the Application page. You can also request to receive a complete admissions packet by mail.
Transcripts:
Transcripts are required of all applicants for grades 1-12. It is the parents' responsiblity to see that a transcript of the student's academic record and testing record are submitted to the Admissions Office by the student's present school. Any psychological evaluations should be included.
Recommendations:
Each applicant to Brookwood School is asked to supply recommendations from two teachers (one for Pre-first) as well as a principal or guidance counselor who are well qualified to evaluate them. Please provide each of them with a stamped envelope addressed to the Brookwood School Admissions Office.
Testing and Personal Interview:
Testing of applicants for the following school year will take place during the spring. A testing date is set at a time that is convenient with the student, parents, and school. At this time, students in grades 7-12 will have a personal interview with the Headmaster and a tour of the school.
Applicant Questionnaire:
The questionnaire must be returned to the school office prior to the interview date.
Health Information:
Brookwood School is required by Georgia law to have on file Georgia Health form 3032 (immunization records). Please complete the enclosed health information sheet and return it along with the student's immunization form 3032.
Evaluation and Selection:
When the student's file is complete, it is read carefully by the Admissions Committee. The committee will seek to answer the following questions: Will the candidate benefit from and contribute to our educational community? Does the candidate's academic performance suggest that he or she will be able to succeed at Brookwood? How do the candidate's credentials compare with those of others applying for admission? As the committee seeks to answer these questions, a wide range of characteristics are considered, such as scholastic aptitude, academic motivation and performance, extra-curricular activities, character, integrity, and seriousness of purpose. Family commitment to an independent school education is also a priority. Are the parents Brookwood or independent school alumni? Are siblings at Brookwood? Is the family as a whole committed to Brookwood School? Brookwood carefully weighs all of these factors in making admission decisions. The Admissions Committee will notify the parents, in writing, as soon as a decision has been reached. Upon acceptance, a non-refundable pre-registration fee of $200.00 is required to hold a student's place.
No student who has resided for more than one full school year in Thomas County or any geographically contiguour county may be admitted after the first quarter of the eleventh grade. No student new to Brookwood may be admitted to the twelfth grade. Exception may be made by petition of the Headmaster and action by the Executive Committee.
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy:
Brookwood School admits students of any gender, race, color, creed, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, creed, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarship, athletic and other school administered programs.~~
