House System

The House System is designed to encourage closer relationships between the students of the House and the House Dean (faculty advisor), as well as increase school spirit across campus. Each House has a leader selected from the senior class. Houses earn points throughout the year through participation, contests, service, and the House Olympics. The House Cup is awarded to the House that earns the most points at the end of the year.

Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment

For students who wish to obtain advanced standing in college through the College Board, 16 Advanced Placement courses are offered: English (2), world languages (3), fine arts (4), history (2), mathematics (3), and science (3). Students enrolled in AP courses are required to take the corresponding AP exams, which makes it all the more impressive that 82% of our students who take AP classes score 3+ (indicating they are qualified to pass a college-level class in the subject).

Brownell Talbot is a Platinum member of the AP School Honor Roll. 

Upper School students enrolled in approved courses may earn college credit through dual enrollment programs with the University of Nebraska at Omaha or Nebraska Wesleyan University.

 

College Counseling

Upon graduation, Brownell Talbot students acquire up to 100+ hours of college counseling. Although outcomes are important, BT’s College Counseling Department knows that each student’s success in college depends on their ability to look beyond college ranking lists and embark on a highly individualized process of self discovery, paired with an exploration of thefull landscape of colleges.

BT’s approach lays the foundation for students to build a plan focused on college fit. Students apply to colleges that meet their individual needs so that they are confident in their decision - one that will shape their next four years of college and beyond.
