Summary: The college process at Brooks encourages and supports introspection and is student-centered, focused on fit. Students are guided in exploring who they are, what matters to them, what they like, what they want, and where they might want to spend the undergraduate years. Through a series of one-on-one meetings, form meetings and mini-classes, they examine their interests, identify strengths and weaknesses as well as personal priorities as a way of knowing themselves better and researching schools of interest.

Summary: Among other programs, Brooks has two special opportunities that separate us from other schools. Both take you Beyond Brooks through experiential learning. ****** Students on the Forefront of Science Cancer biology research at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Cell-based therapy research at Pervasis Therapeutics. Environmental science education and resource management with the Quebec-Labrador Foundation. Brooks School’s Students on the Forefront of Science program has continued to provide challenging internships in science-based research and cutting-edge industries since launching in 2004. Awarded to Brooks’ most talented and passionate fifth-form science students, these summer experiences impact the students’ approach to their final year in high school sciences, as they return to the classrooms with an impressive set of lab skills and a more mature sense of the scientific method. Visit our site for more information: http://www.brooksschool.org/academics/sfs ****** Exchange Program The Brooks School Exchange Program, founded in 1986, promotes the global education of students from Brooks and its partner schools in Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, Hungary, Scotland, Spain, France and Peru. By living abroad as residents in other school communities, our students are challenged to extend themselves to another place, another culture, another people – and, most importantly, to be affected by them, to be changed by them.We are confident that experiencing this transformative process of enculturation makes our students more empathetic and engaged global citizens.
