“ My favorite thing about Nashoba Brooks is all the things.” - NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL STUDENT, AGE 4
At Nashoba Brooks, we believe that there are multiple paths to success. We frame our learning with “ands” rather than “buts.” We make mistakes and we keep trying, we keep growing, and we keep going. We measure our success in outcomes over outputs, and we thrive on intrinsic motivation rather than external rewards. We value depth of engagement over pursuit of perfection. At Nashoba Brooks School we believe in learning—the lifelong, joyful, and sometimes messy pursuit of personal excellence.
Our Core Values: We live them every day. Our core values are more than words—we live them every day. They are posted in every classroom and discussed regularly in classes. They help our students build perspective on their lives at School and in the world beyond our walls.
Integrity

Learning to love learning. We are all in. From our students and their parents to our teachers and trustees, every member of the Nashoba Brooks School community finds joy in learning as a lifelong pursuit.
We dig deep. At Nashoba Brooks School, learning is never about the easy answer. In fact, sometimes it isn’t about the answer at all; it’s about discovery. With a 6:1 student-teacher ratio, every student is celebrated and challenged. Students learn how they learn best. They develop appreciation for their natural strengths and learn to value hard work, progress, and personal growth.
“Nashoba Brooks has truly put a sense of wonder back into our girls and our lives.” - NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL PARENT
Beyond four walls: Learning knows no limits. Students and teachers create learning opportunities on every inch of our 30-acre campus in historic Concord, Massachusetts. In addition to bright classrooms and collaborative workspaces, Nashoba Brooks School offers three science labs, two art studios, two music rooms, two gymnasiums, two playgrounds, a flexible theater space, an outdoor classroom, a community garden, playing fields, ponds, tennis courts, and open spaces.
“As a student, the entire campus is our classroom.� - NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL STUDENT, GRADE 3
Learning for a lifetime: It all starts here. The best gift you can give your child is a lifelong passion for learning. At Nashoba Brooks School, we believe integrity, collaboration, inclusivity, empathy, and resilience unlock unlimited educational opportunities.
Lower School (Coed, Preschool to Grade 3) We believe that education is a voyage of discovery. In the Lower School, we foster a strong foundation for lifelong learning by helping students develop an understanding of self. We hone essential skills through integrated curriculum, differentiated instruction, play-based learning, and exploration. Upon completion of the Lower School experience, our students are ready to soar.
Middle School (Girls, Grades 4 to 8) Between Grades 4 and 8, students learn to answer tough questions, pursue elusive answers, assert clearly articulated perspectives, and meet life’s obstacles with sureness, strength, and optimism. This is when our Middle School girls become the learners and leaders they want to be. From jazz band and robotics to sculpture and coding, the broad range of skills students acquire at Nashoba Brooks School will help them find success in secondary school, college, and life beyond the classroom.
“At Nashoba Brooks, my children learned how to learn, and they learned to love learning. This has been a gift they have carried with them.” - NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL PARENT
Foundation for the future. Our students love to learn and learn to lead. Today’s students must be versatile thinkers—building foundational skills in traditional subject areas as well as literacy, fluency, and mastery of evolving technologies. From Preschool through Grade 8, our students study Spanish, explore coding, and engage in public speaking, drama, athletics, and more. In doing so, they develop the confidence and leadership skills needed to thrive in our rapidly changing world.
“Leadership is an opportunity to be empowered to help others and advocate for them.” - NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL STUDENT, GRADE 8
Excellence: We take it personally. Our steadfast belief in, and commitment to, personal excellence creates an environment in which students are free to take risks, voice their opinions, stumble, rebound, grow, and thrive. Instead of boxing students in, skimming the surface of curricula or teaching to tests, we create platforms for exploration, engagement, and spirited debate. Our teachers are insightful and nimble. They are dedicated to meeting the needs, interests, boundless ambitions, and tireless drive of our students. In turn, students focus on setting, and often exceeding, high expectations for themselves.
“Outstanding academic skills are a given. It is the other essential skills students learn that set Nashoba Brooks students apart from the rest.� - NASHOBA BROOKS SCHOOL PARENT
