THOMASVILLE - As reflected in Brookwood School’s mission statement, we are committed to developing the whole child: academically, physically, spiritually, and socially. One way Brookwood aims to accomplish this goal is through the eighth grade enrichment wellness class. This 12-week course is designed to teach students how to live well in all aspects of life. Several guest speakers have given presentations and demonstrations about a variety of topics ranging from nutrition and self defense to college planning and stress management.
