Brewster Academy

We are excited that you are interested in Brewster Academy and can’t wait to introduce you to our community, programs, and amazing location! Finding a school that fits you should be a journey that is filled with exciting moments, meeting memorable people, and visiting amazing campus locations.

We believe that through this journey you should expect to find;

• A school that believes that teaching and learning is about you – your strengths, your passions and your potential.
• A school that prepares students to be successful, confident and responsible people where values of character and service are just as important as academic skills.
• A place where teamwork and collaboration are active in every classroom, dormitory, stage, and field.
• An authentic community that sets high expectations of each other, celebrates originality and shares a responsibility in your success.

This is what you can expect at Brewster, and what you deserve as a student. We encourage you to come and experience this for yourself!
