Deep, rigorous academics make the difference
Academics are the heart of what we do at Phillips Brooks School. Our approach teaches students so much more than how to read and write or add and subtract – it teaches students to consider why an answer is correct, to see multiple pathways to the same answer, and to consider answers that haven’t yet been found.

Phillips Brooks School Reviews
The PBS teachers genuinely care about and get to know each child on a personal level and I've found the other families at the school to be very welcoming and kind. Plus the after school enrichment options are great!
My son was a late reader (mid 1st grade) but we resisted efforts to tutor. Instead, we were guided by PBS teachers and specialists, who urged flexibility and developmentally appropriate timelines and methods. We believe their support encouraged his love and success for reading. Now in 8th grade, he continues to read for pleasure at every opportunity.
The teachers are the heartbeat of PBS. They know students well and encourage students to challenge themselves where appropriate. Within this framework, students are supported emotionally and academically. The parent-teacher partnership is also very strong. We have felt supported throughout the years by every lead, assistant and specialist teacher.
