The Brook Hill School is an independent, Christian day and boarding school for students in grades PreK-12 located in Bullard just south of Tyler, Texas. The school was founded in 1997 by Steve Dement with thirty-one students in middle school. The boarding school began soon after in 2003. Today the school exists on 280 acres (110 ha) with over 760 students from East Texas and around the world with 30 countries represented among its student population.

Brook Hill also houses the American Freedom Museum, which houses artifacts from all periods of American history. The museum is open to the general public on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and to tour groups of 15 or more on all other days except Sunday when it is closed entirely.
