About - Brooks School: Coeducational Private School in North Andover, MA

Brooks is the best of both worlds, with challenging academics paired to active support, a lakeside 270-acre campus close to the city and ambitious athletics, arts and pre-professional opportunities available to all.

Brooks students have it all — and they take advantage of it.

In the classroom alone, we offer 161 credit courses — the average class size is just 11 — giving students a wide variety from which to choose, including 64 yearlong courses and 65 electives, for a truly individualized educational experience leading to continued success in competitive colleges and universities.

Immersive Learning

The academic rigor and close relationships that students have with faculty and mentors allow Brooksians to dive deeply into their studies, explore them fully and learn at another level.

Genuine Belonging

At Brooks, everyone is seen and heard. Through all-school gatherings, on Main Street, in Chapel, activities or the dorm, individuals share their perspective and learn from others, as one community.

Small and Mighty

As one of the smallest independent schools in New England, our coeducational boarding and day school program for 340 students in grades 9-12 allows us to really know each other.

Acceptance comes from such a close-knit community.

It encourages students to try new things, be it our Students on the Forefront internship program, adventure abroad on Exchange, or a new sport from among our 44 interscholastic teams.
