MKE With Kids is happy to be partnering with Brookfield Academy to help spread the word about them.
Brookfield Academy was excited to once again be named the #1 Private School in Wisconsin by the school search site, Niche.com. The school is also celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
BA serves students from K3-grade 12 on a 125-acre campus that includes six buildings, art studios, athletic facilities, playgrounds, and more.
An important factor in the school’s continued success has been its dedication to a its Mission, “to graduate students prepared for college and life, educated in the skills, values, and heritage of responsible, constructive, free people.”
In order to achieve the Mission, there is a focus on character education through the school’s Five Stars – Truth, Character, Intellect, Individuality, and Heritage – in addition to academics.
BA offers small classes where experienced teachers get to know students as individuals. Teachers use innovative, interactive teaching methods.
There’s also a full range of athletics and extracurricular programs.
“Excellent teachers, students, and families all work together to achieve excellence and it’s nice to see that effort recognized by Niche.” said Doug Ricci, Brookfield Academy Head of School.
“While we certainly appreciate the accolades of outside organizations, we look at the achievements of our graduates as a true reflection of BA’s success.”
This year, seven Brookfield Academy seniors were named as National Merit Semifinalists by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
Since it was founded in 1962, the school has worked to help each individual student develop their own specific skills and abilities.
It has grown from 33 students learning in a renovated farmhouse to educating approximately 880 students on 125-acres, six buildings, with facilities for fine art and athletics.
Today BA is a close-knit community where students feel comfortable being themselves and foster strong friendships.
