These traditions overarch our curricula and provide the framework for our school days and years. The five traditions are Morning Meeting, the Thanksgiving Processional, the Medieval Masque , Stabat Mater and the Graduation Shakespeare Play. Preparation and rehearsal for these celebrations require self-discipline, respect for others, and striving for accomplishment and mastery. The traditions provide exposure to great material which stretches the imagination and the human spirit and fosters development of ideas, character, and values. Music is a vital part of all Far Brook traditions.
Music is the spiritual fabric of Far Brook, unifying and sustaining the school with great quality.
Each morning before classes begin, students and faculty file into Moore Hall, class by class. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation. Classical music fills the air, as even the youngest children take their places. Morning Meeting is the soul of Far Brook, unifying the school through shared experiences. We experience poetry, music, singing, tales that range from the absurd to the sublime, as examples of what is fine and meaningful, as food for the imagination, and as catalysts for adventuresome learning.
