About
The Brompton School, a Charter School of the Kenosha Unified Schools, serves students in Kindergarten through Grade Five. The Brompton School seeks to provide Elementary students with an optimal educational setting and opportunities through a fundamental-based academic curriculum. The student body is composed of those students within the District whose parents choose to have their children’s education provided by traditional classroom teachers with a limited class size.
Philosophy
It is the philosophy of The Brompton School that small class size, direct instructional methods, a challenging basic skills program, high expectations for student achievement and a high degree of parental involvement are essential components for student success.
We believe success earned through hard work will develop self worth, confidence, and ensure future achievement. We believe students learn best when they are challenged to set high goals, are prepared to work hard to achieve their goals and experience success in attaining them. For a positive learning experience, teachers must provide a structure and sequence of instruction that builds step by step. When these needs are meet, students gain confidence and are motivated to accept the challenges of increasingly demanding goals.
A Letter from the Advisory Board
Thank you for your interest in The Brompton School. When Pat Jones opened the school in the fall of 1997, her vision was to create an Elementary School that provides an optimal education through fundamental based academic curriculum and limited class size. In addition to back-to-basics teaching methods, Mrs. Jones believed that high expectations of students combined with dedicated, caring teachers and a high level of parental involvement were essential components for student success.
We believe the chart below shows that success. It shows the percentage of Brompton 4th grade students scoring at the proficient or advanced level in reading (R) and math (M) as measured by the Wisconsin Knowledge Concepts Exam:
In addition to our academic performance, we believe a well-rounded curriculum is important for our children to become outstanding adults. Character traits are reinforced through annual themes our staff develops. Spanish is taught at all grade levels. Music, Choir, Art, Safety Patrol, Student Council, Read to Succeed, and 4th and 5th graders participating in "Battle of the Books" all provide a challenging, disciplined learning environment that children enjoy.
The culture at Brompton is special, too. Distractions caused by the "right" clothes are eliminated because Brompton students wear uniforms. Our teachers and parents describe Brompton as a tight knit community or family where students feel safe. Involved parents meet monthly to discuss school issues, plan and run monthly social activities for the entire school, frequently work in the school or classrooms, and are encouraged to eat lunch with their children. In fact, one of our parents summed it up well when she said "I like knowing that my child’s classmates have parents as committed to their child’s education as I am".
We invite you to join the Brompton community if you agree this is the right environment for your child. Or, call our office at 262-942-2191 to learn more.
