Branson has been nurturing and educating young people for nearly 100 years. Although we are never content with our efforts and constantly seek to improve, we are confident that we provide the atmosphere, training, and habits of heart and mind that our students need to become excellent citizens of the world they will inherit.
You will find an honest and humble generosity of spirit in all of the people you encounter at Branson, but you will also find the intellectual rigor and challenges we know you need in order to gain the crucial skill sets necessary to succeed with confidence as you mature and grow.
We believe that the most meaningful experiences are ones in which students build relationships and make connections. Through our Community Engagement program, we encourage students to seek out opportunities beyond the Branson campus and empathize with fellow members of our larger community,
Branson develops students who make a positive impact in the world by leading lives of integrity, purpose, learning and joy.
Our Community Values
Branson believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential components of an excellent learning environment and a vibrant, caring community. We aspire to create a community in which every member feels a deep sense of belonging and inclusion.
Branson is known for its close relationships between students and teachers, and the Branson classroom is where those relationships come to life. Lectures are rare; instead, students engage in, and frequently lead, dynamic discussions and debates, they work in small groups and then compare their findings, or they are given new problems to tackle on their own and supported as needed. All the while, teachers challenge students to take their thinking a step further, to persist in the face of a challenge, and to broaden their perspective as they gain new insights.
We place a high value on developing the whole student, so in addition to our academic offerings, every student takes two terms of Human Development, where they learn skills for managing stress, creating healthy relationships, and making safe decisions. Students are also supported by their faculty advisor and Class Dean throughout their four years at Branson.
