We build on our challenging core curriculum with innovative courses that lean into change, such as Microbiology and Infectious Disease, Freedom in the Bay Area, and Spanish for Native and Heritage Speakers. Branson is a diverse community where we embrace, celebrate, and support each other in our wonderfully complex identities. We are an intensely collaborative and competitive school—we learn to reach our individual potential while celebrating collective wins. Branson is interconnected with the world around us—students dedicate their time to community-based programs, take online courses through the Bay Area BlendEd Consortium, or even spend immersive semesters in places like Vermont, New York, Spain, or the Bahamas. Our commitment to evolve, adapt, and improve has enabled us to thrive for over 100 years. is is a transformative moment for Branson, as we grow our enrollment by 100 students over the next three years.
