The next school up for review on this site is the Brook Hill School. Since its founding in 1997, the institution has become highly regarded in Tyler most notably for its incredibly beautiful campus. Everything from the football field, library, basketball court, even a historical museum, is located on campus. But there is literary more to this school than meets the eye.
Located in Bullard, Brook Hill literally draws students from all over the world. It is considered a non-denominational Christian school, and it truly qualifies. The staff runs the gambit from Baptists to Catholics, and everything in between. The school takes a classical approach to education, meaning that there is a heavy focus on classes like logic, rhetoric, and language, all subjects considered to be traditional disciplines. There is no canned curriculum here. The goal is a prep-school quality education, something Brook Hill easily attains.
But academics aren’t the only focus. There is a healthy interest in Character as well. Weekly chapel services include various pastors and community leaders. It is the staff’s desire that the students develop Christ-like character, and graduate with an established Christian worldview so that they are prepared to meet a secular college environment.
With around 500 students, Brook Hill offers a full slate of extracurricular opportunities. Opportunities for travel include trips to Washington D.C. and across Texas. Sports teams include; baseball, basketball, football, soccer and others. There are also numerous school clubs available like: student government, drum line, writing and a number of others.
When you consider both size of the campus and the opportunities the school offers, its easy to see why Brook Hill is one of the pricier schools in the Tyler area. But remember, you tend to get what you pay for. For those more concerned with providing an excellent education for their children, and less concerned with the cost, this school is a great bet. It should definitely be considered come the fall.
