Re-Opening Plan
Every student deserves to be taught in the way that he or she learns best. That quality education may look different than usual this year, but our dedication to teaching and caring for our students has not changed.

Admissions
"Briarwood students quickly find a safe place to find or rediscover their talents and strengths while working on areas of need through specialized programs designed to remediate."

~Debbie Etheridge, Admissions Director
Academics
“We’re here to serve with all that we have…We’re here to change lives, to make a difference. We’re a school-a community of HOPE! We’re GAME-CHANGERS!”

~Carole Wills, Former Head of School
Student Life
"Briarwood has a variety of activities outside of school academics which allows students to focus on their strengths and gives them the tools to improve their weaknesses. Students are encouraged to think outside the box and push themselves outside of their comfort zone."
