School Starts on August 13th! We are enrolling new and returning students for our 2026-27 School Year! Now is a great time to ensure your student has a place to grow and learn next year.

We have already assigned homeroom classrooms to enrolled students and a transportation sign-up email will be going to enrolled families later this summer.

We have space available in our PreK, Kindergarten and First Grade classrooms and limited spaces available in all other grades.

Our Brookside Virtual Academy is still enrolling for all grade levels! Our BVA serves Kindergarten-8th grade students with live virtual instruction daily. The curriculum matches our in-person school and is a great opportunity for families who are interested in a learning from home. We provide all technology, supplies, and teachers to ensure your student receives the same quality education they would in a traditional school setting.
