Sense of Connection
Thanks to our single campus, Breck students have the opportunity to grow and learn together as the center of a truly well-connected educational community.
It starts at the very beginning of the Breck experience. Fourth grade "biddies" assist their preschool and kindergarten schoolmates at lunch, helping to serve and clean up. Third grade reading buddies meet Breck's youngest students regularly to enjoy books. Eighth graders help fifth graders adjust to Middle School, and seniors take part in activities, such as a casual dance during the first week of school, designed to acclimate freshmen to the Upper School.
Senior and First-Grade Buddies
Every Breck first grader has a senior buddy. They sit together at all-school Chapels and other events, and meet for monthly activities. The first graders sing to their seniors at Baccalaureate services, and the connection continues post-graduation when the now-second graders write to their former buddies at college.
Bio-Buddies
Breck kindergartners study the human body as part of the Real Science curriculum — which makes them excellent lab partners for seventh-grade science students. Bio-buddies get together for monthly activities that give them all hands-on experience with field research on human growth.
