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.
Sims Wetherbee, Briggs Daniel and Lilly Walker, all of the class of 2026, play a trivia game to familiarize themselves with different colleges.
School nurse Katie Badger teaches Branden Powers ‘26 how to perform CPR.
Wimberly Jones ‘26 demonstrates her self defense techniques she’s learned at Tiger Rock.
Ashleigh Childs, a nutritionist from the UGA extension office, visited the class and taught students tasty ways to eat a balanced meal to fuel their day.
Students have fun learning new stress management and relaxation techniques.
Located in Thomasville, GA, Brookwood School is a private school for grades JK-12. Students benefit from a challenging academic program, fine and performing arts, competitive athletics, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities.
