## History

[edit]

Brookwood School was founded in December 1956 as Essex County Day School by a group of parents who felt there was a need for another school in the area. An old estate property was purchased and the school opened in the converted stables in September 1957.[1] Its founding headmaster was Pip Cutler.[citation needed]

Brookwood School had an initial enrollment of 65 students in 1957. The school has expanded its facilities and student population, and in 2010 had approximately 408 students.[2]

Headmaster Cutler retired in 1973. The second and third headmasters were John Ogden and A. Marshall "Buck" Lawton, respectively. The fourth headmaster, John Peterman, held the position from 1992 to 2015. In the fall of 2014, Brookwood named a new Head of School, Laura Caron.[3]

Brookwood's Board of Trustees is the governing body, managing the school's financial and physical resources.[4][5]

In 2012, Brookwood was recognized by NAIS for their global initiative efforts.[6]

## Campus

[edit]

The campus consists of 30 acres (12 ha) of playing fields and academic buildings, surrounded by natural woodlands, slightly in-land from the northern shore of Massachusetts Bay. The upper school students are housed in the wing that was originally the stables.[7]
