For Prospective Families
Vermont Campus
Away. Disconnected. But Together.
LIFE EXPLORED
In developing young people of character, the nation’s leading neuroscientists, psychologists, and educators agree: immersive, real-world experiences are essential. At Brunswick, that work is grounded in our Vermont Campus.
With 650 acres of wilderness, woods, streams, and nature in its abundance, the campus provides essential “away space” in which students must switch off and disconnect to grasp and explore the benefits of both aloneness and direct, personal interaction—and deepen as never before their relationships to themselves, the world, and each other.
Located in the center of the Green Mountain State, Randolph, Vermont has much to offer. Local cultural opportunities, colleges, farms, outdoor activities—all are woven into the Vermont program for our students. Students in each major division—Lower, Middle, and Upper School—travel to the campus for foundational experiences in outdoor education, applied learning, and personal growth.
The Capstone Experience
Small groups of sophomores visit Vermont throughout the year, each accompanied by their advisor and two senior leaders. Traveling by Amtrak, students arrive in a place absent of iPhones, TikTok, and digital distraction.
What follows is a period of authentic connection—unplugged, outdoors, and face-to-face. This unmediated interaction fosters incredibly earnest conversations at times and just plain entertaining ones at others. Senior leaders help mentor their younger peers, reinforcing Brunswick’s culture of leadership and brotherhood.
