Please inquire by phone, letter, or in person to The Brookwood Community. We will be glad to provide information or answer your questions regarding our programs and, in general, try to give you an idea of the type of individual who may benefit from our programs.
2. Brookwood Tour
If you feel the applicant's needs seem to be within the range of our staff expertise, we will ask you to attend a Brookwood tour which is scheduled regularly each month. Please call the office for the times and dates of the upcoming tours. These tours are invaluable and will give you a first-hand view of the program in action and of the facilities utilized to enhance our training and creative industries. On this tour you will also gain further insight into the Brookwood organization, our history, our expectations, and our future plans.
3. The Application
Should you feel that Brookwood has the program to fit your needs, you should complete a Brookwood application. The fee for processing this application is $50.00 non-refundable. The Admissions Committee conducts a thorough study of the information provided, determines the placement availability and suitability of each applicant, and notifies you whether or not to continue with the next step in the admissions procedure. The next step is an interview/conference with the Admissions Committee.
