上学校
主任的欢迎
The heart of a Renbrook education is the meaningful relationships that develop between our accomplished and deeply committed faculty and our inspired and engaged students. 贯穿课程和每个年级, 伦布鲁克的学生成长为积极和好奇的读者, 清晰而老练的作家, 有能力和自信的自我倡导者. We believe that the foundation for success in secondary school is solidified in these all-important middle school years.
我们的高中, 由5-8年级组成, provides a rigorous and enriched program of academic excellence through our challenging and ever-evolving curriculum. 随着学生从童年进入青春期, they gain numerous opportunities for academic and social-emotional growth. 除了核心科目的英语, 数学, 科学, 人文学科, 和历史, 我们的学生学法语, 西班牙语, 或拉丁语. They also participate in music, athletics, service, and the visual and performing arts. But learning at Renbrook is not limited to the classroom; our ropes course, 森林, 小径, 体育领域, 还有栽培的花园, 提供安全保障, 多种多样的, 以及美丽的室外教室和学习实验室. 校园内有30多个已建立的空间, 户外学习在伦布鲁克比比皆是, 我们的学生茁壮成长!
Each grade in the 上学校 benefits from signature projects that "bring learning to life." Traditions like the daily 早上的会议 are uniquely Renbrook, kindling a collective sense of community and agency while providing ample opportunity for individual growth. 这些经历加强了公众演讲的技巧, 同伴的认可, 领导力发展创造自信, 足智多谋, 还有勇敢的伦布鲁克大学毕业生.
我很高兴你的家人在考虑伦布鲁克, 我欢迎你们来访时有机会进一步交谈.
温暖的问候,
