A Supportive Environment for Appropriate Risk-Taking
Brownell Talbot's grades 5-8 make up our Middle School. Defined by small class sizes, an impressive variety of instructional environments, and a whole-child approach to adolescent learning, BT's Middle School builds skills that help students transition from curious children into responsible teenagers.
