"With the help of an educational consultant, we took a leap of faith and sent our daughter to Greenbrier Academy in an effort to bring peace to our family and to set her on a path of personal and educational growth.  Greenbrier met all of our goals and much more.  We found counselors who addressed specific issues and helped us improve communication, exciting academic programs where our daughter thrived, and a value-based philosophy that strengthened our family.  Our daughter is loved, happy, self confident and proud of her personal and academic achievements.  We are too and we thank the entire staff at Greenbrier for their gifts of support and help to our beautiful daughter."
