About Brooks College Preparatory Academy High School

Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy is a selective enrollment academic center and high school located in the Historic Pullman District. We offer a rigorous academic program consisting of Honors, Advanced Placement, and Dual Credit course offerings. Our school embraces a Proficiency-Based Learning (PBL) approach, where students actively engage in real-world and personally meaningful learning experiences to acquire knowledge and skills. This method emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication as students work over extended periods to address complex questions or challenges. In addition to Proficiency-Based Learning, we integrate principles that ensure instruction, assessment, grading, and academic reporting are based on students demonstrating their mastery of expected knowledge and skills. This approach guarantees that learners progress upon achieving proficiency, tailoring education to individual needs and promoting deeper understanding. By combining these methodologies, our school fosters an environment where students not only learn content but also apply their learning in practical contexts, preparing them for success in higher education, careers, and beyond. We also develop students beyond the classroom through seminars, clubs, athletics, community service and international travel. These experiences combined create a holistic environment in which our students learn to thrive.
