Great Brook School students engage in instruction in four core academic areas – Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. In addition to these subjects, students participate in a variety of Unified Arts courses during their time at GBS. These include art, health, physical education, family and consumer sciences, World Language, industrial arts & technology, and music. Students also have the option to participate in Instrumental and Vocal instruction throughout their time at GBS. Extended Learning Programs such as Greek Mythology, Digital Photography, and Ancient Warfare are popular electives for our students.
GBS follows an advisory model to develop appropriate student behavior. Each student is part of an Advisory of 8 – 12 students. The Advisor is the point person for families, leads student conferences with families, and supports the connections of our students to the GBS community. An important part of our Advisory time is watching The Morning Show, a student-produced news and announcement webinar. A recording of this is posted daily on the school website.
GBS has active and involved PTO members who raise money and engage in initiatives to improve the experience for staff and students. The PTO has had one successful fundraiser this year and is planning another in the spring.
GBS students contribute to the wider community by completing a substantial number of hours of community service in a typical year. Each student is required to complete a minimum number of hours based on the grade they are in: fifth grade–5 hours; sixth grade–10 hours; seventh grade-15 hours; and eighth grade-20 hours. GBS students also participate in many community activities such as writing cards for Veterans, sprucing up areas throughout our school, participating in canned food drives, and donating coats and shoes for people in need.
