Nor is any activity. At Brewster, you feel comfortable about performing or venturing into new territory like film or pottery because you know the applause will be there. It may be an October afternoon when Lake Winnipesaukee glimmers with the reflections of brightly colored leaves, or a February morning when a frosty mist floats over the ice, or warm April days when suddenly everyone is outdoors throwing Frisbees and tossing lacrosse balls and sunning on the school lawns that run down to the shore. Not surprisingly, the Brewster dock is one of the most popular gathering places on campus and the view from the huge windows in the lakefront library can definitely be mesmerizing. For Brewster students, the lake isn't there just to admire.
Students sail, canoe, row, swim, kayak, fish, scuba dive, and snorkel.
When you visit the campus, it might be hard to imagine that you can have so much green grass, world-class ski slopes, and miles of mountain hiking trails nearby and still have the city of Boston less than two hours away. But you can, and weekend trips to sports matches, museums, and concerts are the norm. You will also like the fact that, unlike most boarding schools, Brewster is located in a town. Brewster Academy stands at a milestone in its over 175 year history. Our academic program, implemented in 1993, has earned the praise of Brewster students and parents, and has won the attention and recognition of schools and educational institutions around the world.
