Why Nashoba Brooks?

We know that there is no one way to be excellent and no single measure of excellence. We believe in helping each child to discover, explore, and harness their individual strengths and lean into areas for growth. Our students learn more when they measure their achievement against their own continuous improvement. Through their pursuit of personal excellence, our students begin to challenge themselves, support each other, and build a more diverse and inclusive community that creates expansive opportunities for learning.

Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for a world that is rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected. Our integrated curriculum helps students explore learning that transcends academic disciplines to build broad and deep understanding of core content as well as skills that enable them to apply their knowledge in new and evolving contexts. Our students gain competence and confidence to participate and contribute as members of an inclusive community. Our graduates leave Nashoba Brooks with a genuine love of reading, research, design thinking, innovative problem solving, and a commitment to having a meaningful impact on their communities and our world.

We provide our students with many opportunities to develop and practice authentic leadership skills. Whether presenting during a sharing of understanding in the Lower School, or making a speech about our core values when running for class president in the Middle School, our students find, develop, and leverage their voices to advocate for themselves and others. When contributing to a book discussion, creating an award winning documentary film, performing on stage, leading an all-school assembly, taking on a MATHCOUNTS competition, or serving as an upstander in the broader community, our students think critically and engage meaningfully. Our students are well known for their active and dedicated participation in their communities (see the The Nashoba Brooks Difference section of our Why a Girls Middle School page). Students learn that authentic leadership is about more than being the loudest voice or having a title, it is about acting with integrity to make a positive impact.

We believe that learning should be a joyful process filled with challenge, wonder, and awe. We want our students to embrace a growth mindset, to recognize mistakes as an important part of discovery, to make connections with the natural world, and to see themselves as learners for life. Check out our Instagram or Facebook pages for a glimpse into the magic that fills our days at School.

At Nashoba Brooks School, we believe elementary and middle school education provide an essential foundation for our students’ future as learners and as leaders. From our students and their parents to our teachers and trustees, every member of the School community finds joy in learning as a lifelong pursuit. Together we invest in your children, our future, and the value of inspired education. Nashoba Brooks is committed to building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community by making the School more accessible and affordable for families who are a strong fit for our program.
