Brookes Westshore

Where do I begin... the teachers are horrible and simply read off a PowerPoint, not caring about their student's personal growth and learning, and only being concerned with money. I had a friend who went here for two years and according to him, he wrote a negative review and the administration forced him to delete it. My friend developed severe insomnia as a result of other students staying up past their curfew time (often blaring music and running around the halls). It seems as though many students and dorm parents do not care about personal duties and responsibilities. If hell truly exists, this school is the closest thing to it...PS: the food is terrible.

Reading some of the bad reviews does not make much sense to me, my experience has been 100% the opposite.This is an IB school, your kid has to work hard to obtain the best results. Yes, the teachers will push your child to be their best, that is what this is all about.If you are looking for an easy way to get a HS diploma for your kid, then this is not the place for you.My kid has been here for 4 years now (since day 1) and I personally like and agree with the teaching, the knowledge and the sense of responsibility that the kids are thought on a daily basis. Nothing comes to anyone without effort or are they entitled to anything in life, they all have to work hard and have pride in their achievements and not to expect rewards without sacrifice.I do recommend this school if you want to give your child the best opportunity in life. My kids education is the most important gift I can give them, but we all have our priorities.

brookes westshore is like a home to me i live in the dorms wich are so nice we do so many acitivities i love this school

A great school! Very modern buildings which incorporate views of, and access to, the surrounding nature. The location is close to amenities, while still remaining safe and private. An ideal place for learning, and living!

It has been the best decision we made to send our son to Brookes. The school is supportive and communicative. It is a friendly and safe environment. The teachers go above and beyond engaging and helping the students. I can't wait to send my daughter in grade 6! Awesome!!

did not like the school that much (from dorm perspective) being a dorm student here was fun and all, made new friends but I felt like some things were advertised as a lie, for example “professional chefs and cook team with delicious and healthy food” but food was barely edible half the time, and being a dorm student I had to live off this food so I hope you understand, maybe it was considered healthy but not good at all. Another problem I had was some classes, in some the teacher wouldn’t even explain anything and just give us handouts and tests everyday, in one occasion a student asked the teacher to explain and he replied “it wouldn’t make a difference on your test if I explained and didn’t explain”. Positive things I can think of was the dorm staff, they were super nice and some teachers were very nice too, also the facilities weren’t bad. Overall these things didn’t ruin my experience but I feel like I was wasting money this school year. Thanks for reading :)

We have been so impressed with Brookes Westshore school. Our kids are extremely happy there. They have provided a safe and stimulating environment with well trained teachers who are experts in their area of teaching. We were one of the founding families to join this new school and are delighted with how much the school has grown and improved over just one year!

Brookes is a fantastic school. Beyond a fantastic education program, there is such a lovely community, awesome healthy food provided, great sports programs & an overall super caring friendly vibe!! It’s a fantastic place to send my child everyday.

This school has been amazing for our kids.They love going there and are happy with the teachers.We had problems getting the schedule set this year but it is done now and seemed to be more of a problem for the parents anyway.I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality education.

This is an amazing school- the academic rigor is outstanding! The teachers and administration staff are all incredible- they really care about the kids. The staff are creative, hard working, and dedicated to excellence in education across all the varied subjects. Our two kids are very happy here and love the volleyball and basketball programs- but are also learning to think critically. It would be challenging to find a better school to prepare them for University and to give them the tools to become successful in their future endeavors!
