You might choose Nashoba Brooks for our rigorous academics, but you will soon discover an equal commitment to your child’s personal growth. Although we are certainly not the only school to combine academic program with character development, we believe that the way in which we put these pieces together is unique. The synthesis that results is also uncommon.

A student speaking at a school event described the Nashoba Brooks mix as “magical.” It may well be amazing and astounding, but it is also very real. With much thanks to an innovative, integrated curriculum supported by a collaborative community, we are able to effect a transformative experience for each student.

We see this bold promise fulfilled every day. From the youngest to the oldest, students combine deep learning with understanding—about the subjects they study, about others, about themselves. A Nashoba Brooks parent with children in three different grades says that she enjoys watching as they “continue to push themselves, taking thoughtful risks, often surprising themselves by their achievements.”

Another parent, who describes herself as both “old” and “young” (with three graduates in their twenties and one current student in eighth grade) can attest to the long-term effects of the Nashoba Brooks mix: “Strong character and strong sense of self propel them fearlessly toward their goals . . . what more do you want from your child in the world?”
