Competitions on and off campus for academics and athletics challenge our students to give their very best.

Faculty
At Overbrook Academy, teachers are carefully selected as educators who are trained in accordance with our philosophy and method of formation. There is a full-time General Dean of Students, Dean of Studies and 15 faculty teachers To ensure personal attention, the student body is divided into sections, each with its own Instructor of Formation and team of Deans.

Our school year is divided into four quarters. Various methods of evaluation are used including tests, quizzes, oral presentations, daily and long term assignments, hands-on projects and the daily observation of work habits. After each quarter each student receives her report card with a numeric grade for each subject and information from her teachers regarding her progress in her subjects.
