I have two very different children who have found happiness at Moses Brown in the lower and middle schools. In their classes, their funky uniqueness is honored and all of the kids are respected by peers and teachers alike (truly). The stellar administration and dedicated, organized , caring and smart teachers work together to craft a culture where everybody is welcome and their independence honored while still emphasizing the importance of community, being part of a team, and working for the better good. Academics are strong and rigorous. The school also works to support all types of intelligence, and is overt in teaching skills to support social and emotional well-being. The Friends philosophy is the backbone to the culture of the school, and the community takes those ideals seriously, emphasizing simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. We are deeply grateful for MB.
The academics, which first drew me here, are absolutely stellar. Teachers and departments, particularly in the math/science department (my main subjects), and your advisor will work with you to plan your schedule with courses that will challenge you, grow your interests and also give you the freedom to participate in other activities/extracurriculars. As for those, the sports teams are certainly the groups with the most support, with school spirit running high and student-athletes bonding well in classes. Musical groups (I was part of the orchestra and chorus, but there is also acapella, jazz ensemble, band, percussion, and more) also abound, with plenty of clubs from Mock Trial and Debate to the Yearbook to the Future Scientists Club. There are always plenty of teachers who will support your ambitions or clubs, regardless of whether they teach the subject or not.
Academically, the school is fantastic. I am in my third year at New York University and I see how well the school has prepared me. However, the students at this school are generally very snobbish and stuck up and many of them show elitist behavior. There's more of an emphasis on sports than actual academics. Bullying and social exclusion is rampant by students and it generally leads to a very cliquey and toxic environment. Being a minority in this school is terrible as many of the students and teachers have biases against these students. The college counseling office is great as well, but the school has held up the reputation of being a toxic private school and I wouldn't recommend it for minority students. The school needs to do more to get diversity in the school.
