Academics
We are a community of high-achieving, motivated students and faculty focused on intellectual inquiry, engagement, and bridging educational research with classroom practice.
At Breck, the learning journey each student takes at Breck is carefully charted into a curriculum that guides instruction and student learning. Students embrace challenges, take risks, and grow through persistence and discovery.
With a student to teacher ratio of 8:1, our interactive and inclusive classrooms foster vibrant discussions where students confidently share their perspectives, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from both their teachers and one another. Offering more than 330 courses in grades 5-12, our independent school provides unparalleled opportunities for academic exploration across all disciplines. Guided by dedicated educators, Breck students dive deeply into subjects ranging from advanced scientific research to global studies and literary analysis. As a top college preparatory school in Minnesota, we are committed to preparing each student to live a life of intellectual curiosity, self-knowledge, and social responsibility.
