The Moses Brown experience has been life changing for our children. So ready to send them out into the world with all that hey have learned.

Wonderful! My children love being part of the Moses Brown community. The teacher student ratio is very good. The campus is beautiful.

I came to MB for my freshman year of high school from public schools. It has completely changed my life and given me more opportunities than I ever could have imagined. I am now a Junior in college, and miss the MB community more than ever. Academically, I felt more prepared for college than I thought possible. I'm still in touch with a lot of my teachers and stay connected to MB in any way possible.

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...
