Small School. Big Impact.
Excellence in Academics
Our students bring with them boundless curiosity and unlimited potential, and they inspire each other to dig deeply into learning. Our students develop their own voice and perspective through multiple, integrated learning platforms—research and problem solving, coding and composition, music and drama. They learn to express their ideas with conviction and consider multiple perspectives in honing their own.
Excellence in the Arts
At Nashoba Brooks, our students have the unique opportunity to have multiple, dedicated visual and performing arts classes built into their schedules every week. Research shows that students who participate in the arts demonstrate stronger verbal, reading, and math skills, as well as improved critical thinking skills such as organization, analysis, and problem-solving. In a time when arts are too often overlooked as “nice to have” luxuries at risk of sacrifice when resources are scarce, we recognize the arts as essential skills that help students to unlock new levels of learning and leading.
Excellence in Athletics
Our students don't sit in a classroom all day to learn! We recognize the strong connection between movement and brain development and have constructed class schedules to provide ample opportunities to engage in whole-body learning. In addition to scheduled recess breaks throughout their day, students have physical education classes up to three times a week that take advantage of our 30-acre campus—onto the fields, throughout the trails, and even into our newly renovated fitness center. While we do not require that Middle School students play a sport, 90% of our students in Grades 5-8 participate on an at-school athletic team.
Limitless Potential
Off-Campus Opportunities
Whether in the woods of Maine, on the coast of Connecticut, or in the heart of historic American cities, Nashoba Brooks students get off campus and out of their comfort zones during field trips. For older students, overnight trips allow students to practice responsibility and resilience in a safe and guided environment.
Clubs & Sports
A Nashoba Brooks student can begin their day as early as 7:30 a.m. at a morning club such as math or yoga. After the school day has ended, students have an array of offerings that change seasonally. Whether they wish to participate in a sport, join a STEAM-focused club, get a head start on homework, or enjoy loosely structured playtime with their friends, there is a fit for every student.
A Lifelong Impact
Nashoba Brooks School values the fostering of character as highly as the training of the mind and is dedicated to the development of character in all aspects of School life. Central to the meaning of character are respect for one’s self and for others, a sense of right and wrong, compassion and caring, responsibility as an individual and as a member of a community, and courage to stand up for one’s convictions.
