This quote from the Dean of Harvard Business School captures the spirit of Briarwood:  "We must have the conviction to hold fast to the many traditions that have defined us for so many years [and] at the same time, we must have the courage to innovate.  Because today's traditions were, in fact, innovations in their time ... We owe it, to the generations who will follow us, to continue that spirit of exploration and innovation, because it is in this way that we bring to life the School's mission of educating leaders who make a difference in the world."  Briarwood reflects this spirit from our traditional phonics to our innovative Learning Unleashed iPad program.
