Brunswick School is a private, college-preparatory school for boys in Greenwich, Connecticut, United States. It was founded in 1902 by George B. Carmichael.

History

[edit]

Brunswick School was founded in 1902 by George B. Carmichael. The school is a college preparatory day school serving approximately 1,020 boys in grades pre-kindergarten through 12.[4]

Brunswick was scheduled to take over the former Carmel Academy, which closed its school operations in 2020. Brunswick planned to convert the site, which also previously held the Japanese School of New York (Greenwich Japanese School), into a preschool and housing for employees. The Japanese School had moved into another facility in Greenwich.[5] Brunswick acquired the former Carmel Academy site in September 2023.[6]

Facilities

[edit]
Upper School English and History annex

Brunswick school is made up of two main campuses. The Upper School campus is located on 100 Maher Avenue in Greenwich. The Upper School English and History annex is located on North Maple Avenue, a short walk from the main Upper School facility, occupying the former Preschool campus. Also found at the North Maple facility is the Brunswick Career Center, which puts an emphasis on preparing recent alumni for the workforce. The Edwards Campus (named after former headmaster Duncan Edwards, II) is located about 15 minutes away from the Maher Avenue campus on King Street. The Edwards Campus is made up of the Middle School, Lower School, Preschool School facilities, along with the Burke Fieldhouse (basketball, wrestling, tennis, and the Cosby Weight Room) and the Sampson Fieldhouse (which houses the Dann O'Neil Gym, the Stephens Squash Courts, and Hartong Rink). The Edwards Campus also hosts a set of rowing tanks in the Preschool. Additionally, Brunswick owns a boat house, the Falco Rowing Center, located on River Road, just a ten-minute drive from the Upper School campus. Brunswick also owns a satellite campus in Randolph, VT, called the Randolph Campus. The campus is used for sophomore leadership trips during the school year.[7]

Coordination with Greenwich Academy

[edit]

Brunswick's sister school is Greenwich Academy, which is located two blocks from Brunswick's Upper School campus. The two schools share classes with each other during Upper School, and students are able to choose courses from a combined course catalogue, with the exception of mathematics courses and ninth grade English, which remain separate.[8][better source needed] The connection between Greenwich Academy and Brunswick dates back to the school's founding. The founder of Brunswick had been previously employed as a teacher at Greenwich Academy, which was then a co-educational secondary school. After the founding of Brunswick, Greenwich Academy began admitting girls alone, directing boys to apply to Brunswick School.[9][10][better source needed]
