A Welcome From the Head of School

Our Aim: To Develop “The Whole Boy”

Serving as Head of Brunswick School is one of my life’s greatest honors. More than any school I know, Brunswick is a vibrant and growing institution that has managed to stay true to its founding goals during the course of a long and distinguished history. The school’s motto, “Courage, Honor, Truth,” is a phrase familiar to all who have walked our halls and one followed both in word and deed by those who meet success in our community.

In all divisions, great emphasis is placed on development of the “whole boy.” In a community of challenging academics, diverse artistic pursuits, and highly competitive athletics, time is also carefully set aside for both reflection and service to others.

We believe in the potential of every boy in our charge. We are blessed with a talented faculty dedicated to the fullest possible growth of each member of our community. Our collective goal is to prepare our students for successful and meaningful lives after they leave our care.

In sum, Brunswick believes the strength of a young man’s character and the depth of his spirit ultimately determine his life’s successes.

As you peruse our website, we hope you will gain a sense and appreciation of the purpose and spirit of our community. We also welcome you to visit the Brunswick campus so that we can share our school with you as we continue the work of preparing boys and young men for life.

Thank you!

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.
