The Phillips Brooks School is an independent, coeducational, preschool-grade 5-day school located in Menlo Park, California. The school is commonly known as PBS and was founded in 1978 by a group of teachers and administrators who split off from the nearby Trinity School. The enrollment of PBS is 270 students.[citation needed] The school has the smallest class sizes of any school of its kind in the area.[citation needed]

Phillips Brooks School has actively participated in efforts to make classrooms more attuned to the needs of students,[1][2] including a focus on identifying the unique ways in which each child learns.[3]

The school is named after Phillips Brooks.

Transcription

My name is Jordan, and I’m in the class of 2016. I’m in Mission Hill After School Program... one of the many opportunities at Harvard to get involved and volunteer. This program in particular works with kids in the Boston area. We tutor them and mentor them and work with them on their homework. We have a student driving the van. We’re all together. And it’s a great community. [ Jordan ] After a week of studying and hard work and everything... it’s nice to get together with a group of other students that are interested in volunteering... and then to give back to the communities. One of the things that I love about being part of a tutoring program... is that most of the time my students end up tutoring me. [ Girl ] She’s smart. She helps us. And she’s pretty, funny. It really helped me transition from being a varsity athlete... to being involved in another way I could give back to the Harvard community. [ Young Woman ] It means so much... and it becomes a huge part of your life and a huge part of who you are. I’ve had a very wonderful first year here.

Potential second campus

Phillips Brooks School had purchased a 92-acre (370,000 m2) lot in Woodside, California along Interstate 280 that it planned to redevelop into a second campus. Environmentalists expressed concern that the plans would result in the loss of 1,000 oak trees.[4] Discord in the community regarding the school's development plans was a major issue in the 2001 Woodside Town Council elections.[5] Ultimately the city government blocked the plans. As reported in the local newspaper The Almanac:

School officials balked over the town's open space easement language, saying it was too restrictive and would make building and operating the campus unfeasible. Town staff countered that Phillips Brooks' easement language was too full of loopholes and would not protect areas of pristine open space. ... The project was denied on a 4-3 vote.[6]
