“BB&N has been an incredibly warm and welcoming community, especially since we only relocated back to Cambridge more recently. BB&N has been our children’s academic and social home, and we have also made wonderful friends within the parent community. The school means community, a sense of belonging, and an openness to new and diverse perspectives.”
“We have young children so we hope to be part of the BB&N community for many years to come. Given our long term involvement with the school, we wanted to help ensure that it’s the most inclusive, beautiful, and age-appropriate environment it could possibly be.”
“The campaign is visionary not only for its focus on bringing the school campuses up to the same excellent quality as the educational program, but also for its commitment to making BB&N accessible to a wide range of families and students. We’re impressed with the vision of the campaign and can’t wait to see it break ground.”

The Bright Bold Next Campaign is a transformative investment that will elevate the student experience from pre-K through grade 12. This campaign will ensure our students are equipped with the skills and experiences necessary to thrive in a changing world.
Financial aid allows us to promote socioeconomic diversity in all grades. When students bring different backgrounds and perspectives to campus, our education becomes more expansive and open to bright ideas and bold solutions.
The Lower School renovation is ensuring students have the learning environment they need to reach their potential. Every design decisionhas been made through the lens of pedagogy and biophilia.
The BB&N Fund meets pressing needs and keeps us agile and flexible. It stands as a testament to our institutional strength and the commitment of our community.
Thanks to generous support from early donors, BB&N opened its newest athletic campus during the 2022 Homecoming Weekend. The Grove Street Athletic Campus is located in Watertown, MA.
Our commitment to innovation ensures that educational practices stay cutting edge. Our funding supports initiatives like the Class of 2023 Visiting Innovator Program, the BB&N Leadership Institute, the Action Research Program, and Innovation Grants.
