  • With all students in grades preschool through 12 on the same campus, Breck offers many opportunities for students of different ages to work and grow together.
  • Lower School provides students with a foundation of learning that both nurtures and challenges them intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually.
  • The middle school years are some of the most crucial in a child's development, both as a student and as a socially responsible human being, and Breck's program is specifically geared toward maximizing that growth.
  • Breck Upper School is a diverse community that is committed to the development of young adults as they prepare both for college experiences and their lives as members of broader communities after college.
  • The arts are important at Breck, where students are encouraged to develop confidence through increasing competency in both visual and performing arts.
  • Athletic offerings at Breck are unprecedented for a school of our size, and Breck athletes are top competitors.

Breck’s continuous P-12 curriculum is broad, deep and well balanced. In addition to traditional college-preparatory academics, signature programs (many are national models) include P-12 Mandarin Chinese, Advanced Research opportunities, a groundbreaking multicultural curriculum and one-to-one laptop program. Students are regularly recognized at the state, national and international level for their academic achievements, but they are also prepared for civic leadership through a fully integrated service program in all three divisions. Our single campus provides numerous opportunities for students of all ages to learn, work and grow together under the careful guidance of an extraordinary faculty.
