I enjoy being in a competitive environment with open-minded students and teachers. Something I would change about the school is the lack of diversity. I wish Branson had more students from different backgrounds.

As a student involved in both science and the performing arts, I was very happy with my experience at Branson.

I have absolutely loved my time at Branson. Of course the academics are superb, but more than that, Branson teachers, staff, and administrators truly care for the students. Especially during this difficult time in the world (with the COVID-19 pandemic raging at full force), Branson has done their very best to stay true to our community and to raise moral within our school. I am so sad to be leaving Branson next year, but I know that the lessons I have learned and the people I have met will stay with me for a lifetime.

Great teachers, nice kids willing to collaborate, great food, beautiful campus, inspired head, and a jewel of an admissions head who knows how to pick a good class. My chid is very happy, learning so much, and appreciated by his peers, teachers, and administration. He says he'll be sad when he gradu...
