Program areas at Far Brook School

Far Brook School is an independent day School located in short hills, new jersey. The School provides elementary education for boys and girls in nursery through grade eight.our approach to education embraces the following tenets of progressive education:1. Theme-based curriculum: teaching through themes emphasizes depth over breadth, allowing students to become experts on that topic.2. Hands-on learning: learning is experiential and active. Students construct their own knowledge through meaningful experiences, guided by passionate educators.3. An appreciation for nature: Far Brook's unique wooded campus provides an opportunity for learning without walls. At Far Brook, a bird's nest discovered in a tree becomes a science lesson; a sound heard in our wetlands habitat becomes a poem.4. Collaboration: collaboration is emphasized. Students learn to work with others from diverse grades, experiences, learning styles, and thinking, whether solving a problem in algebra, acting on stage, building a bench in woodshop, or passing the ball on the soccer field.5. Learning through the arts: integrating the arts with academics, technology, and physical education has been at the heart of Far Brook's philosophy since 1948. Experienced faculty spark curiosity about our world and inspire students to examine complex questions and make connections across disciplines.6. Social justice: a Far Brook education teaches children to not only be excellent learners, but excellent people. Students find their voice and the confidence to become changemakers, compassionate leaders, and ethical citizens.far Brook's impact lasts a lifetime.
