Developing Your Best Self

Building character is a fundamental part of the Brewster experience and our unique recognition program is one system of rewards that encourages student growth and transformation in such key areas as respect, integrity, and service.

Though a wide range of opportunities ranging from academics to athletics to activities, you’ll develop important skills that will benefit you at Brewster and beyond, including how to:

• Be independent and self-reliant as you successfully negotiate the everyday challenges of living by yourself
• Make sound decisions, good choices, and to take responsibility for your actions
• Build meaningful relationships and make new friends by identifying the interests you share in common with others—and learning to respect those that you don’t.
• Live away from home and to understand and accommodate the perspectives of roommates from diverse backgrounds
• Develop self-confidence, build a strong, values-based foundation for life, and learn the importance of good citizenship through volunteerism and service-learning projects.

In other words, a Brewster education empowers you to develop your best self. In fact, the only person you’ll compete against here is you—as you continuously challenge yourself to achieve your true potential as a student, friend, leader, and valuable member of your community.
