Brunswick US Curriculum Night
We’re very excited to announce that for this year’s Curriculum Night, all the construction materials are gone and our brand new facility is up and running!
Our evening will begin promptly at 6:30pm on Thursday, October 2nd with an address from Tom Philip in the new Baker Theater in the Performing Arts Center. Classes will begin at 6:45pm and will run for 10 minutes each (only Brunswick classes will meet on the evening of the 2nd). GA Classes meet on their Curriculum Night on Oct. 16.
We have mailed home a “Survival Guide” to help parents get acclimated to the new traffic patterns and room numbers associated with our new facilities. If you have any questions prior to Curriculum Night, please call. We look forward to seeing you!
