Carlbrook School was a private, coeducational, college preparatory boarding school located on {{convert|200|acre|km2}} in Halifax, Virginia. It was non-sectarian and covered grades 9 through 12.[1] As of 2014, it reported enrollment of 80 students.[2] The school closed permanently in December 2015.

History

Carlbrook opened in early 2002 with eight students.[3] By June 2003, it had grown to 89 students. All new students were required to complete a wilderness therapy program before enrolling.[3][4] In 2003, a school official explained that wilderness programs help prepare students for success in the school program and function as a "filter", meaning that students who successfully complete these programs are more likely to succeed at Carlbrook.[4]

Admissions

Admission to Carlbrook was selective, focusing on students of high aptitude and potential who had struggled academically or socially in previous educational environments.[5] Carlbrook was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools[6] and the Virginia Council for Private Education,[7] and was a member of the Secondary School Admission Test Board,[8] the Small Boarding Schools Association,[9] and the Educational Records Bureau.[10]

Academics

The school followed a quarter-based academic calendar and awarded high school diplomas in accordance with Virginia Department of Education guidelines.[11] There were multiple Advanced Placement courses and several advanced and dual-enrollment offerings;[12] in addition to the school's academic requirements, graduating students were required to demonstrate leadership and character through extracurricular involvement and/or community service. Carlbrook reported that over the school's first decade its graduates were accepted to over 500 colleges and universities.[13]

Closure

The school closed in December 2015 after giving notice a few days before end of the fall semester.[14] The announcement attributed closure was due to declining enrollments.[15]
