our students will have in their lives. Established in 1926 in the town of North Andover,
Brooks provides an all-gender, college preparatory program for 350 students on a
270-acre campus overlooking Lake Cochichewick. We strive to be a place where a
diverse group of faculty and staff want to learn, grow, and do their best work to support
all aspects of a Brooks student’s life, both in and out of the classroom. At Brooks, we
