Grades 4 - 8

Why a Girls Middle School?

When girls reach the age of nine and ten, they embark on an exciting and challenging journey of physical, cognitive, social and emotional growth that continues into high school. At Nashoba Brooks, learning in Grades 4 through 8 is an empowering enterprise with teachers who know and support their students’ growth.

Empowering Girls. Launching Leaders.

The Middle School years are a time of tremendous intellectual growth and cognitive development. As students mature, they learn to manage more abstract concepts and multiple perspectives. It’s a time of growth spurts, puberty, and confounding physical changes for students. And, it’s a time for developing self-esteem, examining self-identity, and navigating complex social dynamics. Nashoba Brooks Middle School supports and empowers students who identify as girls, helping them to navigate this unnerving process with confidence and poise.
 
At Nashoba Brooks, our students develop both the skills and the self-assurance to learn and lead in any environment. They 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 to consider multiple perspectives in honing their own.

Nashoba Brooks graduates claim and shape learning opportunities to complement their strengths, confront their areas for improvement, engage their peers, maximize their individual growth, and embark on new opportunities with confidence.

Why are Girls Schools Relevant?

The Nashoba Brooks difference


When I entered high school I felt really prepared for the changes it brought.  Nashoba kept us learning and engaged through the pandemic, but also taught us how to use all the resources we had available to us to be successful.

Here I am, a girl in the 70s, and I’m thinking about being a surgeon or an astronaut. I didn’t really think there was any reason why I couldn’t. I think that must have been a reflection of being in an all-girls school.
