Notes

Brewster has a comprehensive community life program that supports student growth by promoting community and leadership skills and emphasizes the need for balance among academics, athletics, and residential life. The athletic program offers interscholastic, instructional, intramural, and recreational sports all with an emphasis on sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal growth and development. Brewster is a flourishing, innovative school in one of the most picturesque areas of New England –on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and a short drive from the majestic White Mountains – yet less than two hours from Boston. A predominantly white clapboard, unified, and tidy campus boasts more than 21 faculty residences and dormitories to bring a strong on-campus adult and family presence to this quintessential boarding school community. An imposing academic building dominates the center of campus and a first-rate athletics facility is nestled into the hillside, overlooking the playing fields, the lake, and the mountains.

Considering Financial Aid?

Schools administer their financial aid individually. The keys to seeking financial aid are:

  1. Planning, including dedicating time to sit-down and work through the paperwork and process
  2. Communicating with the admission and financial aid officers at the school
  3. Completing the paperwork and forms early and accurately (forms and paperwork can differ between schools)
  4. Meeting the financial aid deadline (it's early).
