• WE ARE GB

     

    Greenbrier believes in growing our students as a whole. Teaching our students math, science, social studies and language arts goes hand in hand with teaching our students the values of community, giving, being kind and being curious about differences. Our classrooms are safe spaces for our students to explore what interests them within a subject and topic. We give back, here at Greenbrier, with annual events that involve the entire community. Our community runs through us and we are proud to say that it feels like everyone knows one another. We facilitate connection among our families here. Our school is the hub of the community and that is invaluable to our students' experience. This page explores, in a transparent way, who we are at Greenbrier. Enjoy getting to know us and what we are about and if you have any feedback, comments or questions, don't hesitate to contact us!

    A major goal of the District is to keep class sizes low. Lower class sizes allow for more frequent one-on-one instruction. Student growth

    We ensure student growth by focusing on the needs of the whole child by building on their strengths while providing support to meet their challenges. Our teachers use AHSD25 curriculum to meet each child where they are and push them forward in literacy and math.  We’ve developed social-emotional programs and activities to provide instruction to all our students, promoting an understanding of self and building positive relationships with each other.
