Beyond Brooke

Brooke scholars are making it to – and through – college.

Brooke alumni are succeeding in selective admission high schools as they continue on their journey to an undergraduate degree. We’re thrilled to watch our first classes of alumni enroll in college.

Graduating 8th graders and alumni are supported by a team of dedicated professionals. These educators work one-on-one with scholars to provide SSAT and SAT tutoring, advising on the high school and college application processes, school tours, family education and support, and guidance on financial aid. Additionally, our generous donors provide scholarship support to graduating 8th graders to offset a portion of tuition costs.

“When you walk into a Brooke classroom, you’re here to get work done. You’re not here to talk about the show that was on last night or hit songs — you’re here to learn. Brooke really pushes students academically. The teachers really believe in the potential of each student.

That’s coupled with really strong, supportive relationships with teachers. I told our principal, five, six years from now, he should watch out — I want his job. I want to create schools and give back to the community in the way that Brooke gave to me.”

“When I got to Brooke, school was really difficult for me. But the teachers don’t want you to fall, ever, so they’re going to give you that extra work and help. Now, in school, I look for challenges.

I made relationships and real connections with the teachers here. I came back for help throughout high school; without Ms. Steadman’s tutoring, I don’t know if I would have made it through calculus! I come back to Edward Brooke a lot because I feel like I need to give back to a place that gave me so much.”
