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.
