Brookwood School It Starts Here.

Personal Growth and Development (PGD) is a program designed to

• nurture the personal growth of each child at Brookwood,
• encourage the development of decision-making skills and sound ethical sense,
• consider a variety of social and moral issues,
• help each student gain understanding of self and others,
• and to promote self-respect, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

PGD also includes a school-wide Buddy Program which promotes community responsibility, sharing, caring, organization, and thoughtfulness by pairing older students younger schoolmates. The Advisor Program is also part of PGD, providing Upper School families with a primary contact person and students with a consistent small group in which to address the issues and objectives of the PGD program. Service opportunities, the Freedom from Chemical Dependency Program, and class trips are other components of the PGD program.
