Lower School

Energy. Curiosity. Wonder.

LIFE BEGUN



We believe every boy in our charge must be known, cared for, loved, and provided with every opportunity to fulfill his potential. We encourage Lower School boys to develop positive attitudes about themselves and others.

Helping boys learn how to learn is our core objective. Small class sizes and two full-time teachers per room ensure exceptional support. Core subjects—enriched by physical education, art, music, Spanish, and more—create well-rounded learners through an interdisciplinary approach.

An essential element of the Lower School experience is the Brunswick Trust, which guides character development across grades. Grounded in the school motto—Courage, Honor, Truth—lessons and social-emotional learning help boys develop respect, responsibility, kindness, humility, grit, and adaptability.

Academics

Boys build strong foundations in core subjects while developing curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning through hands-on exploration.

Arts

In the visual and performing arts, boys build skills, take creative risks, and find joy in expressing themselves.

Student Life

Boys explore interests, build friendships, and learn the value of responsibility and teamwork through offerings such as the Big Brother Program, Student Council, and the Singing Bruins—and after-school activities including Chess, Karate, LEGO Robotics, and Woodworking.
