About BB&N

Buckingham Browne & Nichols is a day school in Cambridge that engages boys and girls in grades pre-K (called Beginners) through 12 in a rich and invigorating educational experience of the highest quality. The school excels at helping students discover their unique talents and passions and develop them to the fullest.

Students learn on three age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate campuses. The Lower School (Beginners through grade 5) and Middle School (grades 7 and 8) are a short walk from Harvard Square. The Upper School (grades 9 through 12), on the banks of the Charles River, is about a mile away. At every grade, we take full advantage of the range of opportunities our location affords us.

BB&N has an eclectic student body with students from a wide range of backgrounds throughout the Greater Boston area. The diversity of interests, experiences, and perspectives students bring with them to BB&N is one of our greatest strengths. They learn from gifted faculty and from each other as they embrace the challenges of a premier educational experience.

Students come to BB&N with intellectual curiosity and an eagerness to learn. They leave with a clearer sense of what’s possible, well prepared for the next step in their lives, and with a very good idea of which direction to take it.
