Quick Facts

Buckingham Browne & Nichols is a coeducational day school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. BB&N's history dates back to 1883 when the Browne & Nichols school was founded. Nine years later, in 1889, the Buckingham school opened for girls. Almost one century later, in 1974, the two schools merged to form the Buckingham Browne & Nichols School, drawing on the strengths of both schools to become one of the most competitive independent schools in the Greater Boston area. Located on three separate campuses, we work as one school in the pursuit of excellence. We celebrate the diversity of community which enriches our experience.

At BB&N we foster intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and a deep concern and respect for others. Our educational program, coordinated from Beginners through grade twelve, provides a rigorous core curriculum, taught in flexible and innovative ways. Students acquire the skills and discipline necessary for academic accomplishment and learn to reflect, take risks and to discover. The curriculum is strengthened by our commitment to a comprehensive program in the arts and athletics.

In all of our experiences, both those within the school and those which use our urban location, we encourage self-reliance, knowledge of oneself and a capacity for leadership. The connections between our faculty and students are at the heart of our school. We ask members of our community to be engaged learners, compassionate individuals and productive citizens who live our school's motto: "Honor, Scholarship, and Kindness."
