If there is one day a year when the Brooks community steps up, it's Giving Day! Historically, this is the day when records are set, donors are inspired and Brooks students and faculty feel incredibly supported.

A sweet tradition: Students enjoy a buffet of holiday goodies during lunch courtesy of Brooks' parents.

Students and faculty depart for nearly three weeks, through March 25, to relax before finishing off the school year.


Spring Break concludes as boarding students and faculty return to campus. (Boarders return by 9 p.m.).

Calling all Brooksians! You're invited to our annual volunteering event, held this year on Saturday, March 28! We are excited to have volunteer sites in six different areas this year. We hope you will join us in Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Lawrence, London or Washington, D.C. for a day of giving back! Click here to learn more and register.
