Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Buckingham Browne & Nichols is a day school that engages students in grades Pre‑K through 12 in a rich and invigorating educational experience of the highest quality. The school excels at helping students discover their unique talents and passions and develop those strengths to the fullest. The curriculum is challenging, forward‑thinking, innovative, and flexible, designed to help qualified students, from a range of backgrounds and with a wide spectrum of talents and interests, reach new levels of accomplishment.

Co‑curricular opportunities in athletics, the arts, community service, and other areas add important dimensions to students’ learning. Students learn on three age and developmentally‑appropriate campuses. At every grade, BB&N takes full advantage of the range of opportunities its locations afford.

BB&N is committed to becoming an anti‑racist institution. This commitment is integral to the mission and vision of the School. BB&N is an academically excellent, diverse, and inclusive community where students develop into lifelong learners who lead with kindness, curiosity, and integrity. We prepare students to be responsible and open‑minded as they engage with the world around them. Our school is guided by the core values of:

• Inquiry, in which we promote curiosity and critical thinking to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Integrity, in which we strive to be honest, conscientious, and accountable in our actions, even when no one is watching.
• Belonging, in which we foster a culture of respect, well‑being, and connection that values all individuals and empowers them to discover and be their authentic selves, and
• Kindness, in which we strengthen our communities by recognizing our common humanity and treating ourselves and others with respect and compassion.
