The Briarwood School

About Us
“Each person comes with his or her unique gifts, challenges, and ways of learning.”

“We want to teach skills that will equip our students to become contributing members of society, and, in turn, give them purpose, self-confidence, and self-esteem.”

~Yvonne Tuttle Streit, Founder
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."

~Jack, Briarwood Student '20

“Briarwood has helped me learn best what steps to take to be able to process my school work. The teachers want me to succeed and they do everything to help me understand. They know how to deal with our learning disabilities.”

~David, Briarwood Student
Giving
"It's not the size of a gift that makes it generous...it's the heart behind it."
