About Us

Welcome to Meadowbrook!

Meadowbook School is a vibrant K-5 school of approximately 460 students in Northbrook School District 28. We are located at 1600 Walters Avenue in Northbrook. We are the proud home of the Huskies. Our school is also lucky to have a goldendoodle named Krieger, District 28's certified facility dog, who brings smiles, comfort, and extra joy to our hallways.

Meadowbrook is a positive learning community where everyone is committed to working together for the success of all students. We are extremely proud of our school and know you’ll be impressed by what you experience.

Meadowbrook opened its doors in 1955. In April 2025, the Northbrook community voted to support a $94.9 million referendum, which will in part, fund the construction of a new Meadowbrook School. The new building is anticipated to open for the start of the 2027-28 school year! Click here to check out the latest updates. 

Academics

K-5 students receive a full day of core academic instruction which includes Reading & Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. First through 5th grade students also participate in Spanish instruction five days a week. In addition to core content, students have physical education five days a week, and music and art instruction twice a week. Students in 3rd-5th grade have the option of participating in band or orchestra and are provided weekly lessons from our district music department. 

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students and staff use a SEL program called Everyday Speech. This program gives students the tools to practice foundational social and emotional skills in fun and engaging ways. Through short videos, modeling, and interactive activities, students learn important everyday skills such as taking turns, expressing feelings, making friends, and solving problems in positive ways. These lessons provide a strong foundation for healthy relationships and confident learning

Grades 3-5 use a program called Wayfinder. Wayfinder focuses on six Core Skills: Self-Awareness, Adaptability, Empathy, Collaboration, Agency, and Purpose. Each week, students participate in interactive lessons and discussions that help them connect with themselves, their peers, and their community. Wayfinder gives students a sense of belonging and purpose while also strengthening the skills that support success in school and beyond.
