We were part of the MB community for six years. We arrived in the US in 2019, a couple of months before the COVID-19 pandemic, knowing little about Providence and the local community. MB was a place where our son felt welcome, safe, and supported, and we found friends and people who were always open and available for us. I would add that the teachers and MB´s staff are of the highest quality, humanely and academically. The gorgeous and well maintained facilities are a huge plus.

Our kiddos are now in middle and high school, but started at MB at age 3. MB has been such a wonderful, nurturing community for them and us, we are so thankful!

It is hard to find something not to like about MB. Our son was happy all around, amazing teachers, great academics, outstanding sport programs. I recommend it highly.

I am a current student at Moses Brown and to be honest its very disappointing with all aspects beside academics. My time here was disappointing to say the least, when it comes to classes and teachers the school is fine but when you look deeper you start to see all its flaws, the community is shown t...

I attended MB for ten years, K-9th grade. I chose to leave because of social and academic reasons. The general feel, level of bullying, and overall privilege vary significantly from grade to grade. Some classes, like mine, were particularly bad. 10% of my class left following 9th grade. In the lower...
