Support what matters to you

The Peter Clark Center for Mind, Brain, and Education was established in 2016, named in honor of Peter Clark, a longtime Breck faculty member who died in 2012. The Center fuels teaching and learning excellence by bridging research in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and education to practice for faculty, students, and parents. Through this ongoing endeavor, our faculty develop expertise not only in their grade-level or subject areas, but in learning and learners. Our teachers are uniquely prepared to support every student to understand learning and themselves as a learner. 

Since its founding, the PCC has been curating research in Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE), investing in professional development for faculty, and helping all Breck students understand how they learn. In nine years, it has become clear that students who understand themselves as learners enjoy school more, perform better, and have a growth mindset about themselves as learners for life. 

Student-centered, faculty-focused, and community-minded. 

Established in 2013, the Melrose Family Center for Leadership and Equity is the physical and programmatic embodiment of Breck School’s dedication to building 21st-century leadership capacities for all of our students at every educational and developmental level. The Melrose Center is a cross-divisional brave space where students, faculty, and staff explore crucial issues of equity, leadership, joy, and restoration, shaping the daily health of our school community. At the intersection of leadership and equity, we center initiatives and efforts in service to the whole Breck community. Through community programming, affinity groups, leadership curriculum, professional development, and more, we work to increase the capacity of all community members to engage in critical conversations about identity, equity, and social justice. In partnership with the Peter Clark Center for Mind, Brain, and Education, the Melrose Center supports students as they reflect on who they are as leaders, learners, and human beings. This work aligns with Breck’s mission,  Episcopal identity, and our collective goal of graduating students who embody self-knowledge, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility. As our work in the Melrose Center evolves, we will continue to look for ways to develop our students’ unique talents and capabilities and support the journey of future generations of leaders for years to come.
 

Your support to our athletic programs play a vital role in developing students' character, teamwork, and leadership skills. Athletic programs not only enhance the physical well-being of students but also contribute to culture and community at Breck. By supporting athletics, donors help ensure that students have access to high-quality facilities, experienced coaches, and competitive opportunities that prepare them for success both on and off the field.
