Giving Boyhood the Attention it Deserves
Browning celebrates boys' unique strengths with research-based strategies designed to meet their developmental needs every step of the way.
Our mission is to foster growth of courageous and compassionate men of intellect and integrity who aspire to contribute meaningfully to our world.
Our Core Values
Honesty
We speak the truth, act with integrity and take responsibility for our actions.
Curiosity
We encourage and celebrate open-minded inquiry about our world and the perspectives of those around us.
Dignity
We honor and celebrate the dignity of all people and support the power of a diverse, inclusive and welcoming community.
Purpose
We believe that education encourages exploration and discovery in pursuit of meaning and enduring fulfillment.
Boys are at their best when they know that they are loved.
Academic achievement blooms when boys feel respected, encouraged, and challenged as learners. Our excellent faculty holds high standards for our boys and for themselves, which allows boys to deepen their love of learning while growing in their understanding. We are proud that our academic program offers boys both challenge and engagement, invites them to think deeply and communicate clearly, and takes them on a transformative journey into the world of ideas. We foster a climate in which boys are deeply valued for their unique gifts—where they are seen and heard, given both freedom and boundaries, and consistently encouraged to find lasting meaning in their education.
Browning gives the distinctive joys, concerns, and complexities of boyhood the attention and respect they deserve. At Browning, we intentionally cultivate deep relationships with each and every boy so that he can grow into an excellent student, dedicated friend, and decent man whose lives will influence others for the better.
