I am extremely grateful for having had the opportunity to go to school at Breck, from third grade through graduation. I have visited often over the last few years - to talk to teachers and administrators, to help out with baseball practices, to keep up on campus renovations. Two summers ago a friend of mine from college visited me in Minnesota and I took her to see Breck — and ended up showing her every classroom I had been in since Lower School! I spent last summer working for the United Nations in Santiago, Chile, and coincidentally ran into Mr. Salas one day at lunch. We got together for "onces" (afternoon tea) and talked about everything related to Breck, and I think both of us realized how strongly we both feel about the mission and values of the school. Breck offers its students a wealth of opportunities, and is filled with wonderful, caring, inspiring people, dedicated to excellence.
