Big Brother Program

Leadership. Mentorship. Brotherhood.

LIFE GUIDED



Brunswick’s Big Brother Program gives Upper School students the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with younger members of our community. The program brings a select group of Upper School boys to our Lower and Pre School campuses weekly, where they engage in a variety of activities with younger students. Upper School boys can often be found playing football, wall ball, and basketball on the playground alongside students in first through fourth grades. Upper School students also regularly visit classrooms.

Connections is a cross-divisional initiative that aims to connect and enhance our four divisions. The program builds a deeper sense of community and reinforces the concept that students are responsible for each other and should look out for one another. Upper School boys are chosen to lead advisory activities and run Middle and Lower School assemblies throughout the year. These students are trained to teach younger boys important lessons of cooperation and teamwork.

In-Classroom Mentorship

Big Brothers support learning by assisting in classrooms, helping with reading, projects, and hands-on learning.

Weekly Campus Visits

Upper School students head to Lower and Pre School campuses weekly to spend time with younger boys, forming meaningful bonds that last.

Leading by Example

Big Brothers take on leadership roles through our Connections initiative, guiding assemblies and leading activities across divisions.

Learning Through Play

Our Big Brothers engage younger students through outdoor play, and teach teamwork and inclusion.

Building a Brotherhood

Big Brothers help foster a sense of belonging and reinforce Brunswick’s commitment to character and community.
