We toured several schools, and it became pretty clear that Far Brook was different. The campus itself is really special, and after two years we've had a very good experience. What we appreciate most is how the school lets kids be kids while still taking learning seriously. There's a lot of hands-on work, time outside, and room for curiosity, which has made a big difference for our child's confidence and love of school.The teachers genuinely know their students. It doesn't feel like anyone is just moving through a system -- they recognize strengths, quirks, and when a child needs a little extra push or support. Communication with parents has been thoughtful without being overwhelming, and the parent community has been a real highlight for us. Parents are very engaged and the vast majority are down to earth.It's a warm, close-knit community, and while it's not a pressure-cooker environment, kids are still very well prepared for the next step, including competitive high schools!

We love Far Brook School! As parents of young children in the Lower School, we could not be any happier with or more appreciative of our experience at Far Brook. The play-based, experiential, progressive curriculum is engaging and joyful for our children, and also grounded in solid academic rigor. The faculty and staff are creative, flexible, supportive and open with communication; we feel like a part of a team working with them to truly understand our children for who they are and what they need. Additionally, we feel fortunate to be part of such a close-knit, diverse and inclusive community of families. Most importantly, our children are eager to go to school every morning, and excited to share their day every afternoon.

Absolutely love this school! Students learn by exploring the natural world around them, guided by top-notch teachers who know how to both challenge and nurture children. Students support each other in the lab, on the field and in artistic productions. Lots of individual attention from the faculty. The N/K-8 model is important — very close-knit environment really pays off as the older kids become leaders for the younger ones.. Far Brook achieves academic excellence without being a high-pressured environment. Now we see the lasting benefits of a Far Brook education: self-confidence, a willingness to try new things, and a lifelong desire to learn. Our kids were extremely prepared for high school and beyond!

We love Far Brook! Engaging academics, caring faculty and staff, inclusive community, social/emotional support for students, and thoughtful curriculum/program with milestones and leadership opportunities as the kids mature. Teachers see, understand and know our children as students and as individual people, helping them understand their strengths and weaknesses and how to advocate for themselves.
