Brewster Academy

Students who thrive at Brewster are active, curious, and open-minded learners who value personal growth and community involvement over sharp competition. It is particularly ideal for students who perform best in collaborative, team-based environments, as well as those who benefit from a personalized curriculum tailored to their specific learning strengths and challenges.

Be prepared to embrace the outdoors across all four seasons! From waterfront lake activities in the fall and spring to snowy winters near New Hampshire’s mountains, life at Brewster is active and heavily tied to its natural environment. Equipping students with proper winter gear early makes the transition to campus life smooth and enjoyable.

While many prep schools claim individual attention, Brewster was an early pioneer in integrating instructional technology and design-thinking principles into everyday high school pedagogy. Additionally, despite being a traditional New England boarding school founded in 1820, its campus border seamlessly merges into the local town center, allowing students a level of walkable freedom rare for prep school settings.
