Students will find a supportive community where they can try new things and expand their interests.

Dorm proctors ensure the well-being of their peers, providing valuable peer support. Our student leadership group empowers students to actively lead every day while helping to shape the Brewster experience.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Our students are encouraged to give back to the Wolfeboro community through various initiatives, forging meaningful connections with local residents. These experiences instill a sense of social responsibility and a lifelong commitment to making a positive impact on diverse groups.

CLUBS

Brewster's clubs provide students with the chance to explore their interests outside of the classroom. In September, students attend the Clubs & Activities Fair, which is a chance to get involved early in the school year. Students are encouraged to establish new clubs too!

INTERNSHIPS

Brewster takes a hands-on approach to education, offering student internships directly on campus. Whether working in our art studios, contributing to our communications efforts, or helping plan campus activities, students receive practical experience that prepares them for future success.
