Brimmer is a Pre-K to 12 coeducational day school that upholds high academic standards while implementing innovative ideas. We develop lifelong learners who are informed, engaged, and ethical citizens and leaders in our diverse world.
Brimmer is a community of expert faculty, devoted staff, and outstanding students, all dedicated to success. Our robust interdisciplinary curriculum and inspiring learning environment come together to support our students in becoming intuitive, respectful, and compassionate graduates.
Our students thrive in a learning environment that inspires curiosity and empowers students to push the boundaries of their own education. Our multi-dimensional curriculum is built on an understanding of the skills, attitudes, and abilities that are needed and valued in society. These include critical thinking, creative application, and global awareness, among others.
Brimmer’s teachers, across all divisions and disciplines, work closely together and find opportunities to collaborate. Because of this, our students learn to work well in teams and to think creatively and analytically about complex topics, particularly in the STEAM fields of study. We encourage students to speak publicly, demonstrate their knowledge, and use their imaginations to produce innovative work. Of equal importance is our value-centered culture, which helps our students become honest, respectful, responsible, and kind citizens.
Lessons are taught through a global lens. Students learn about other cultures, languages, and people while developing critical skills for our increasingly interconnected global society. In Pre-Kindergarten, our students start studying world languages, and by 12th grade they have traveled abroad through our Winterim program. Our students are from diverse backgrounds—both international and domestic— helping us learn a great deal about different cultures within our own community.
Professional development for our faculty is a significant priority for Brimmer. Each time our teachers return from studying abroad or participating in workshops, they inspire their students and infuse new energy into their classrooms. Our teachers model what it means to be life-long learners. Guiding principles that define a Brimmer education:
The Brimmer Diversity Council is dedicated to fostering an inclusive School community that values and actively promotes an awareness and appreciation of our differences while honoring our common humanity. We are committed to providing leadership, guidance, and ideas to ensure that School policies, programs, and curricula reflect the mission and foster an environment in which all can thrive.
At Brimmer and May, students thrive in a learning environment that inspires curiosity and empowers students to push the boundaries of their own education. Our curriculum is multi-dimensional, robust, and built on an understanding of the skills, attitudes, and abilities that are needed, recognized, and valued in society, such as critical thinking, creative application, and global awareness.
Across all divisions, students understand how all academic disciplines, particularly the STEAM fields of study, interrelate with each other. Students are encouraged to think through problems in innovative and analytical ways, find solutions, and master the process of learning and problem-solving. This experiential approach to learning allows students to learn by doing—not relying only on the memorization of facts.
The global focus of our curriculum and programming helps students gain a worldly perspective and a deep understanding of other societies and cultures. These lessons take place both in the classroom and abroad through travel opportunities and joint projects with students across the world.
Our learning environment encourages students to be inquisitive, confident, and open with their ideas and beliefs. Students receive personalized attention and our dedicated faculty works closely with each other to make the learning experience exciting and engaging. As a result, Brimmer inspires thinkers and doers.
