The teachers at this school have a passion for teaching. To them it is more than just a job. Both of my kids have graduated from Northbrook Academy. They both spent their middle school years at this fine institution and in the process I spent a moderate amount of money for tuition to have them each attend. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY OF THE COST!!! Currently, my daughter, who is now in public school, is in whatever AP courses are available to her as well as that school's Bridge To College Program. Not bad for a 15 year old who just started her sophomore year. If you wish to SUPER PREP your child for high school, college, life and beyond the lessons begin here.

School is not IB certified as claimed. My child has had 5 math teacher changes this year. Some excellent teachers on staff for middle school science, social studies and english. Zero leadership and no admin support so communication is weak and your calls often go unanswered.

My son will be graduating from Northbrook this June. We will all miss it very much. The teachers and the supportive learning environment have caused my son to thrive. They don't teach to any test, they teach their students how to think - and let them learn at their own pace. My son is several years ahead of grade level and has had no trouble passing tests and applying to high schools. The social environment is warm and welcoming. With such a small school the students are close and supportive of one and other, regardless of which class/grade they are in. Students are encouraged to try anything - in sports their basketball team is undefeated, and yet it made up of kids that probably wouldn't have gotten a chance to play elsewhere. I highly recommend it.

As a parent of a 6th grader, I couldn't be more satisfied with our decision to enroll our daughter at Northbrook Academy. The passion of the teachers/staff, extensive curriculum and teaching style has allowed our daughter to excel in her areas of strength while meeting her needs in those areas shes finds more challenging. The small class sizes allow the teachers to personnally know each student and their learning style so lesson plans can be adjusted accordingly to meet the individual needs of each student. Parental input is encouraged and welcomed. Middle school years can be difficult socially with an emphasis on "what group do I belong to?" Northbrooks' small, diverse student body fosters healthy friendships and relationships between students who might otherwise never be encouraged to intereact with one another at a larger school because of their differences. I am thrilled my daughter is learning the benefit of "stepping out of the box" and embracing all there is to learn at Northbrook Academy.
