Welcome to Willow Brook Academy, we offer an exceptional Upper Elementary program designed specifically to meet the unique needs of children between the ages of ten and twelve. Our program provides students with the intellectual and social tools they need not only to excel in school but also to thrive in their lives beyond the classroom.
At Willow Brook, we have carefully crafted a curriculum that combines deep academic study with practical application, fostering holistic development in an atmosphere that nurtures social, emotional, and intellectual growth. We believe that education goes beyond mere textbook learning, and our Upper Elementary program reflects our commitment to providing a well-rounded education that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities they will encounter in the world.
As children enter the upper elementary years, they possess a remarkable blend of energy, curiosity, and the newfound skills of reading, writing, time management, independent work, and harmonious community living. Our program recognizes and celebrates these qualities, allowing students to fully engage in their learning journey. They spend their days working both individually and collaboratively on a wide range of captivating projects across key subjects such as math, language, cultural studies (geography, history, sciences), and practical life skills.
Our highly skilled teachers understand the importance of tailoring instruction to each student's needs and interests. Through customized research activities, field studies, and art and music instruction, we create a dynamic learning environment that nurtures student curiosity and encourages their active participation. By striking a balance between student engagement and the core goals of our curriculum, we foster a deep love for learning and empower students to take ownership of their education.
At Willow Brook, we believe in the transformative power of education, and our Upper Elementary program is designed to inspire a lifelong passion for knowledge and personal growth. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and stimulating learning environment where students can develop critical thinking skills, embrace collaboration, and cultivate a strong sense of self-confidence and responsibility.
