Millbrook Elementary School is helping all students develop the World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by focusing on learning and innovation skills. Intentional planning and processes are in place to provide opportunities for students to apply critical thinking and problem solving skills, communicate with others while pursuing student global ambassadors, learn through collaboration with other students, staff and community members, and practice creativity and innovation skills.
Students at Millbrook Elementary are given the opportunity to take ownership of their learning through reasoning, making judgements and decisions, solving problems as well as learning how systems work together. These skills allow the students to apply learned material to new concepts while expanding their knowledge base.
Efforts are made to ensure that students are given the opportunity to communicate with others as they learn to speak and listen to others in diverse situations using all forms of communication. A school-wide expectation plan emphasizes respect and shared responsibility, fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment.
Millbrook Elementary strives to provide opportunities for students to experiment, listen to others ideas with an open mind, communicate with each other as they evaluate their hypothesis, and then adjust their thinking based on the learning that has occurred. Students are celebrated for taking risks with their learning and encouraged to look at failures as an opportunity to grow and learn.
Academic programs at Millbrook Elementary are driven by data to meet the specific needs of students. The school's commitment to strong academics is complemented by an emphasis on building relationships, which helps students approach learning with confidence. By focusing on academics, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity, Millbrook Elementary ensures that students are well-prepared for their transition to middle school.
