Brearley School

Academics

Academically, Brearley has a reputation as being one of the most challenging schools in the city. The curriculum is based on the study of the liberal arts, and is designed to give students a solid background in all disciplines. The English and History departments are particularly strong, and focus on the development of writing skills (in Middle School) and analysis (in Upper School). All students are required to study at least one language, and most take two. Languages currently taught are Spanish, French, Latin, and Mandarin Chinese.
