Brown School's educational program for children and young people recognizes the importance of making up one's own mind and heart about what is true and what counts as knowledge, of knowing where one's passions lie, and of trying to determine what the future holds for humanity and the planet. We want to inspire and equip young people to be caring, knowledgeable, and active citizens of our increasingly complex world.
