The first eight years of a child's education form a critical foundation for the future. It is during these years that we wish to instill in children the understanding that learning is a life-long process. The Lower School Faculty at BB&N share beliefs about what constitutes an effective elementary school. These beliefs help define the academic program at the Lower School and guide our policy decisions.

At the Middle School, every student takes English, history, foreign language, math, science, and the arts. With their growing maturity, students can begin to shape their own education, starting with a choice of foreign language such as French, Spanish, or Latin. Increasingly, students are also responsible for managing their own schedules and gradually increasing amounts of homework to help prepare them for the Upper School and beyond.

The Upper School emphasizes self-discipline, problem-solving, and daily engagement with the task of learning. We encourage students to pursue their interests with passion and to meet their obligations with enthusiasm. We value a diversity of opinion, talent, and backgrounds. But we are united in our appreciation of hard work, individual achievement, and intellectual ambition.
