At Brookside Charter, our Upper School specials—Health, PE, STEAM, Drumline, Empowerment, and Entrepreneurship—equip students with real-world skills that support academic achievement and personal development. Health and PE promote physical wellness, goal-setting, and lifelong habits for a healthy lifestyle. STEAM engages students in hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, art, and math, building critical thinking and innovation. Drumline fosters discipline, collaboration, and school spirit through rhythm and performance. Empowerment encourages self-awareness, leadership, and decision-making aligned with our Leader in Me approach. Entrepreneurship introduces students to financial literacy, creative problem-solving, and business planning, preparing them to be confident, capable leaders. These specials enrich the student experience by connecting learning to life.
