WELCOME TO BROOKSTONE!

Offering a range of inclusive, holistic programs for children and youth in a collaborative, supportive, mixed-age environment.

At Brookstone, growth is personal, meaningful, and grounded in strong connections. We design learning experiences around each individual, supporting not just the development of knowledge and skills,         

but also higher order thinking, emotional well-being, nervous system regulation and a strong sense of belonging.

Our days balance curiosity-driven exploration with small group and individualized learning akin to specialized small group tutoring and opportunities to build confidence, resilience, and healthy relationships.

Through hands-on projects, shared experiences, and thoughtful guidance, participants become self-aware, compassionate, and adaptable THINKERS — prepared for whatever comes next, with both the skills and the self-trust to thrive. Our students grow into leaders who can think critically and creatively, solve problems with confidence, and advocate for themselves and others, with vigor and compassion. 

Use the links below to explore our innovative, heart-centered approach.  If you’d like to learn more or arrange a visit, reach out anytime — we’d love to connect and share how our unique little not-for-profit community can support your child.​

The Brookstone Difference

At Brookstone, students love the learning process thanks to truly individualized programming that focuses

on the development of and connection between the mind, body and heart.

 

Through innovative, research-based programs that are meaningful, adaptive, supportive and dynamic and draw from multiple modalities, students are able to reach their intellectual  potential and beyond.

 

As they develop curiosity, find their voice, and trust in their abilities, they are in fact learning how to learn—an essential lifelong skill that fosters grit, resilience, and the capacity to grow into a successful,

well-rounded human being.

What Families Are Saying

“As a parent, I am absolutely in love with Brookstone Academy. The level of professionalism mixed with compassion and a person to person relationship with each student is like no other. Our daughter has gained so much self esteem and has made new friends that have been like family. She has so much confidence and has learned to vocalize and communicate her feelings and thoughts. Our daughter specifically stated she loves Brookstone because she isn’t rushed all the time she said “they give me extra time to finish my work and they never rush me.” She feels comfortable, confident, content. She never wants to miss a day!” - S.F.
