My experience at Brown School was amazing. Teachers there truly care about students' well-being, giving reasonable and challenging work. The food is usually amazing, as good as cafeteria food can get. The student body is, for the most part, friendly and accepting. I did not participate in any sports, but I heard from classmates who did participate that sports weren't given much attention, only offering 3 for the whole year. The administration is open and all around great to work with. Being a small school (only 14 people in my past middle school class) you get to really connect with your classmates and teachers, creating a tightly knit community. The only problem that came up was one teacher I had. I don't think that this teacher would've been hired if the administration saw how she actually lead the classroom, or what she taught. But overall, amazing experience.

You might think, duh, they work at a school, but after interacting with two "top" school districts here in the Capital District and a similar one in Western Mass., I call or show up a...

Our daughter started at Brown for PreSchool and we loved their program. As our daughter graduated to elementary school, we moved over to the public school because we were in a good district. When COVID happened, we moved back to Brown as our daughter was starting Middle School (a bit hesitantly at f...
