"School ought to be a place where children discover the things that make their hearts leap, and where they absorb values, skills, and standards they can build their lives around. But there also needs to be time for them to lie back in a field and find stories in the shapes of clouds."
- Rebecca T. Upham, Head of School

"The curriculum isn't easy but students get lots of support at BB&N. There's always someone looking out for a student, be it an advisor, teacher, coach, or someone in administration. At BB&N students find advocates and mentors and interesting adults."
- Rory Morton '81, Dean of Students, English

In the Lower School years especially, a BB&N education reaches out to the whole being of each and every child. We deliberately exercise their senses, their hearts, their imaginations, their bodies, and all their diverse "intelligences."

"When you're really involved in a field, academic or artistic, you know the whole range of possible achievement. You know how good you could be and where you stand."

Oliver happens to be the captain of three sports, but not everything comes so naturally. "There is not a chance I will be a famous painter," he says, "and I didn't always enjoy the process amazingly. But looking at my paintings now, they're better than I thought I could do. BB&N makes you try new things - and that's great."
- Oliver Snyder, Middle School

At an age when September to May feels like a lifetime for children, the sweet old Lower School traditions mark their passage through the year. And as the Soul Cake candle and the Maypole ribbons pass into their growing hands, as they graduate from watching to doing, they begin to prepare for the thrilling next step - over to the Spark's Street campus of our Middle School.
