We have a proven tradition of academic excellence, a commitment to great teaching, and a dedication to fostering character and confidence in young people. Our stunning 33-acre campus-formerly the farm of 18th-century Quaker abolitionist leader Moses Brown-provides expansive academic, athletic, and artistic facilities right in the heart of Providence.
