   MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission at Brookhaven Academy is to provide a Christian-based, college preparatory curriculum in which each student is challenged to achieve excellence and mature spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.
 

   PHILOSOPHY

Brookhaven Academy is a non-sectarian school based on Christian principles and dedicated to a quality education. A total education must include the opportunity to develop academically, spiritually, socially, morally, emotionally, and physically.
The school should enable students to achieve educational, vocational, and personal goals. The curriculum should be broad enough, and school activities varied, to allow students to participate fully in the educational process and to achieve educational objectives. Quality education, a major goal of the school, is stressed and encouraged, so students will achieve the high level of academic excellence needed for education at a higher level and vocational competence. A major outcome of our educational process should be the creation of a useful, worthwhile citizen capable of deriving enjoyment and satisfaction from living in, sharing in, and contributing to our democratic society.
The faculty and staff of Brookhaven Academy should instill Christian principles into each of our students by our teachings and by our actions. Along with the home and church, school should help to mold students in the spiritual aspect of life.
We live in a changing world from the standpoint of morals, social customs, and social change. It is our responsibility to prepare students to face these changes and deal with them, developing from within a sense of moral responsibility, patriotic responsibility, ecological responsibility, and global responsibility.
The process of education should not only prepare for life experience at some later date but should enable the student to cope with daily problems in his or her current experience. We should promote opportunities for the development of self-understanding, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-respect, and a sense of responsibility.
Participation in school activities, be they academic, athletic, or extracurricular, should facilitate the development of well-rounded, balanced, healthy individuals. Athletics should be a part of the educational process to help students prepare for the future.
Brookhaven Academy strives for a cooperative relationship among all persons involved in the total educational process - students, teachers, administrators, related school personnel, school board members, and citizens of the community. We encourage daily practice of our educational philosophy.
