Supporting Our Future, Our Legacy

Vibrant. Creative. Unpretentious. Kind. Intellectually fearless.

There are simply very few places like BB&N – an engaging community of learners that is also an academic powerhouse, dedicated to opening young minds to themselves, their possibilities, and their responsibilities to the wider world.

BB&N is a place for young people to discover their true selves.

It is a place where students learn intellectual daring, rigor, and self-reliance – and develop the moral grounding to consider the most provocative questions without losing their balance.

A place where, from the earliest grades, they come to appreciate other points of view and to argue thoughtfully for their own. A place where critical thinking and creativity get equal time, and where everyone is inspired to cultivate new strengths. Where students are taken seriously as intellectual creators, and where faculty both excel in the classroom and make important contributions to their fields. Where students and teachers develop friendships that stay fresh for decades beyond graduation. A place where students weave the complementary lessons of the playing field, the studio, and the classroom into a powerful preparation for life.

BB&N is our shared treasure – and our shared responsibility. We invite you to join us in sustaining this magnetic community of learners for many, many years to come.

Our challenge now: to create an inspiring future for our remarkable school, together.

“Supporting BB&N feels like the most natural thing in the world. What could be more important to our family than the school where our child is being educated?”

– Mary Myers Kauppila (Parent ’12)
