Supporting Materials

For all applicants, Brunswick requires confidential recommendations and transcripts to be supplied directly by current schools, teachers, and/or other instructors by January 15. Parents must waive all rights to see these materials.

All materials must be completed and submitted online directly to Brunswick. Brunswick understands that many public schools do not allow teachers to complete student recommendations. In these cases, other individuals who have taught or instructed the candidate are acceptable substitutes.

It is with profound gratitude for a job exceptionally well done that I write to advise you that Tom Philip has informed the Board of Trustees of his plans to retire in June 2027, at the close of the 2026–2027 school year. When that milestone day arrives, after 26 years of his steady and extraordinary leadership, Tom will be the longest tenured Head of School other than Brunswick’s founder.
