"Braemar House School is a not-for-profit, secular, independent elementary school offering children a supportive and enriched learning experience. Our strength is a strong academic program in a nurturing environment, emphasizing respect for self, peers, teachers, staff and community. Braemar offers highly committed teachers, a partnership between home and school, and small class sizes."
"Braemar House School offers an enriched education in a non-denominational community. This is realized through our delivery of the curriculum, educational resources (ex. Chromebooks, manipulatives, & other resources), citizenship programming and extracurricular activities like sports and clubs. We are more than a house, it’s a home. Our classrooms & school have a feeling of community; there is a real sense of school spirit. We deliver excellent educational programming in a caring environment."
"We continue to prioritize small class sizes and straight grades to ensure we maintain our commitment to knowing our students and we are able to program for them. As well, focusing on the specific grade curriculum and developing well-rounded students who have been exposed to academics, arts, citizenship, and S.T.E.A.M. to name a few. We also provide a vibrant character education program and leadership opportunities. It also adds to our caring and home-like, intimate feeling. This is a part of our culture. We offer an academic program in a caring environment."
"Braemar House School was started in 1996 by a group of parents looking for an alternative educational experience for their children. In early 1997, Braemar House School incorporated, and obtained not-for-profit status.
The school moved to our current location in August 1997. We bought the building in April 2001 and have added on with 4 modular classrooms in two phases (2007 and 2011). Over the years we've renovated classrooms, added a school food garden and outdoor classroom, maintained (ex, new roof) and added to the plant (ex. cooling systems in the older part of the school).
Strategically we have developed our arts program (ex. annual musical production, music lessons and an art show), early learning programs (Montessori and Prep One), citizenship, and Information Technology. Braemar received the Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award in Technology in May 2014 and the program has evolved since then to include smart TVs , Chromebooks and Google Classroom."
"Students must be willing learners, who are open to learning and like to be academically challenged. They enjoy a variety of subjects and embrace leadership opportunities, get involved and are active participants in the school community. They are also kind, patient, tolerant and respectful. When students appreciate education and understand the opportunity their parents have provided them that leads to a positive experience.
A positive home-school partnership is important. It is critical that parents understand and support our program and policies."
"We are an academic school running a traditional program. We do offer hands-on learning, manipulatives, and S.T.E.A.M. programming, but we are not a Waldorf or outdoor education school. Students need a high level of independence, and interest in academics to successfully and independently navigate our our program. We do not offer 1:1 programming for students."
"What we hear from parents: they are looking for small class sizes, strong academic programming, enrichment, citizenship and the feeling of a school community. They want their children to love school and have an overall positive and fulsome experience. This is what our student’s experience."
"We receive a lot of compliments about our students when they are on field trips or are volunteering in the community. They are friendly, courteous and demonstrate their knowledge, curiosity and interest in participating. They are great ambassadors for themselves and the school."
"The school culture is something that is undervalued. At Braemar, we offer an enriched academic program in a nurturing environment. The culture is something that is unique, and it is important and something we work to cultivate. There is a community feeling at Braemar and it has a positive impact on learning. There is a sense of everyone pulling together and wanting the best for each other. This is really valuable for students for their learning and social-emotional development."
"Once families join Braemar, and they have spent some time at the school, families experience how the school as a community is emphasized. Everyone takes care of everyone. They experience what small classes allow – a chance for students to have time with their teacher and their teacher to get to know them. Families also truly see the dedication of teachers and staff. Our staff work hard and offer wonderful programming, a well-rounded educational experience and a caring, nurturing environment."
