From the Principal...
Welcome to Braeburn School!
The mission of Braeburn School, as a child-centered community that continues to develop traditions of academic excellence and responsible citizenship, is to ensure that all children achieve their academic potential and experience the joy of learning. We aim to accomplish this through a caring and challenging environment that recognizes and responds to each child’s uniqueness and fosters compassion for others and an awareness of the world.
Nestled in a quiet part of town in close proximity to vibrant West Hartford Center, Braeburn School services approximately 400 students in kindergarten through grade 5. In addition to serving as a neighborhood school for the many students who reside in our immediate attendance zone, Braeburn School also houses one of the district’s town wide Special Education Learning Centers, for which it draws its enrollment from all eleven elementary schools in town. Braeburn is a longstanding participant in the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) Open Choice Program, through which we accept a number children from the City of Hartford as students in our school.
Our hope for every student is that they will achieve high academic performance and reach their fullest potential as citizens, athletes and through their participation in both the visual and performing arts. The Braeburn community is one in which all of its members are truly passionate about their school and maintain high standards for our students performance in every domain of their school experience.
At Braeburn School, we view the parent community as a significant asset to our school and are committed to encouraging and supporting each family’s involvement in their child’s education. We hope this web site will help all families to stay closely connected to and engaged in our collective efforts.
Best Regards,
Natalie Simpson
