BREWSTER: THE WAY EDUCATION SHOULD BE
Brewster is an elite boarding and day school without the elitism. Here, you’ll find the perfect balance of academic and personal development in a place where all can do their best without having to best each other. That’s why we say that Brewster is the way education should be. Students at Brewster transform through an intellectually diverse and academically challenging environment without standardization and with the guidance and coaching that help them gain mastery in their subjects. Our graduates emerge with a strong sense of self and a deepened commitment to others—they become well-rounded individuals prepared for success—and ready to lead lives of purpose.
