For West End residents wanting a private education for their children, the Breck School offers a full education starting in preK and going all the way until a student’s senior year of high school. Tuition rates are dependent upon what grade a student is in, with a preschooler’s half day of school starting at $22,890, and a high school senior’s tuition costing $35,345. With each grade the student goes up, so does their tuition, however the Breck School does offer financial aid. The school itself sits on a 52 acre campus and has athletic amenities which include a baseball, football and soccer field, along with six tennis courts and lanes for track and field. Located not far at all from the main campus either is the Breck School Anderson Ice Arena, where both boys and girls hockey games for the school are played. With a median 31 in ACT scores, Breck School students are prepared for college and beyond starting at a young age, and by the time they graduate, their educational path will have made them ready to transition into adulthood and a career.

Breck Schools appear to be facing significant challenges across various aspects. There are lots of concerns about the quality of teaching, the behavior of the staff, and the effectiveness of the administration.

Breck has a very strong community of students, parents, and teachers. The teachers are fabulous - incredibly talented and passionate. There is a wide range of extracurricular and athletic options. We have also been impressed by the quality of arts education. Breck is an Episcopal school but welcomes all religions.

I really enjoy Breck school academically. The teachers are open and willing to help you and want to see you succeed, and you are given the opportunities and tools to help you succeed. The social culture at Breck definitely needs reform though.

I hate this school for several reasons, I recently had a health issue that resulted in me having frequent doctor's appointments and missing a significant amount of class.

Do not come to Breck for Upper School only. They do not do a good job of assimilating new students. Policies are rigid and grading is all over the map. Facilities are excellent, but the culture of the school is problematic on many levels. There are better options.

Lots of teachers joined during the last few years, without much quality control. Many of them are simply bad. Some of them barely have a degree in community college. Some make tons of mistakes in their classes and handouts and are very good at confusing students. The school principal needs to be rep...

Equally disturbing is the lack of generational heterogeneity on The Breck School Board. There are plenty of viable Board candidates amongst the high-accomplished, enthusiastic young Breck alumni who are generationally in touch with the vast majority of parents of current Breck students. Alternativel...
