Not up to standard. Not worth the price. Teachers are not fully invested in students. Limited number of sports offered. Student culture is absolutely horrible.

The Brook packs a lot of punch for the close community it fosters. Immense diversity and dynamic learning experiences combine with goals of creating young learners ready for college and life beyond. I look forward to all my son has to gain from and offer this beautiful place.

Great school that provides a lot of opportunities for international students. I am from Jamaica and have found this school alto be a life changing experience for the better. I am currently a student at SBS and the community is what makes it special. I love all the teachers and how much they help us. International festival and Chinese new year along with many other celebrations are one of the best I have ever seen at any school. And the musicals and theatrics of the school are ones that are so special. I love that they have many grand pianos too.

A wonderful experience for my kids. The education is top notch and the teachers are kind, attentive, and capable. The college counseling is especially strong and students consistently get into top schools. Leadership is competent and communicative.
