• Upper School: A Transformative Education

  Renbrook is a dynamic, intellectual community where learning is rigorous, student-centered, collaborative, experiential, and applied. History takes on new meaning when our eighth graders recreate a Civil War encampment as Connecticut Volunteer Infantry regiments, modeled on the actual companies that marched into battle. Math empowers when our sixth graders build a 3D scale-model building, keep a checking account, pay bills, set prices, and conduct other transactions for fictional businesses as part of their “Math Town.”
  
  As part of their interdisciplinary study of ancient history, sixth graders write and present their own “Greek” play. After using Renbrook’s Pond Sanctuary for ecological studies, seventh graders make digital presentations about their research on a related topic. Across the curriculum and in every grade level, Renbrook helps students to become active and inquisitive readers, clear and sophisticated writers, and confident speakers and presenters. We believe that the foundation for success in secondary school is solidified in these all-important middle school years.

• Renbrook's Ideal Educational Environment

  Learning for middle schoolers at Renbrook is not limited to the classroom. With a ropes course, woods, trails, sports fields, and cultivated gardens, our campus is a safe, varied and beautiful outdoor classroom and learning laboratory.

• Renbrook's Balanced Education

  At the heart of a Renbrook education is the meaningful relationship that takes place

  between our accomplished and deeply committed faculty and our inspired and engaged

  student body. Renbrook School is synonymous with academic and intellectual rigor in all

  aspects of our challenging and ever-evolving curriculum. In addition to core subjects of

  English, mathematics, science, and history/social studies, Renbrook Upper School students learn French, Spanish, or Latin, and participate in music and the visual and performing arts.

• Community Connections & Service Learning

  A connection to the community, both within and beyond Renbrook, is an integral part of the Renbrook experience. Working with others to accomplish shared goals is an essential part of a Renbrook education. In Upper School, community work can range from buddy class with other grades to social service projects on and off campus, that benefit area agencies, shelters, hospitals, and soup kitchens.
