Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School are committed to a coordinated Upper School program. While remaining two distinct institutions in philosophy and culture, Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School are dedicated to common educational goals. Both schools focus their attention on the important issues of scholarship, leadership, service, diversity and friendship. Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School combine to prepare students of both genders for life in an increasingly complex world.

The unique aspect of coordination is that it creates an entity that is neither single-sex nor coeducational. Over three decades, the program has evolved into a teaching and learning community whose whole is better than the sum of its parts. In fact, each part is stronger for its participation in the whole. The schools retain their own traditions, student governments, athletic programs, publications, boards of trustees and alumni/alumnae associations.

SCHOLARSHIP
The coordinate program sets a rigorous academic standard for all its students, combining the resources of two dedicated faculties who offer 24 Advanced Placement courses and a number of honors electives. The schools believe that intellectual discipline implies more than obligation, obedience and effort; they expect not merely competence but depth of thought. Education here is a dynamic interaction among students and teachers that makes ethical as well as academic demands. Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School are as concerned with the process of learning as with its result.

LEADERSHIP
Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School students are expected to be responsible to their peers and teachers and accountable to themselves. Leadership opportunities on campus and in coordinate clubs teach Academy and Brunswick young women and men to be adaptable, resourceful and skilled.

A select number of Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School seniors participate in the Peer Leadership program. Pairs of seniors offer weekly discussions and social activities to small, coed groups of ninth graders. This program helps freshmen adjust to life in the Upper School and, at the same time, provides excellent opportunities for seniors to develop and strengthen a sense of purpose and responsibility.

Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School recognize that leadership opportunities exist everywhere. The schools ask all students to maintain a high standard of behavior on the playing fields, in student government and in academic and artistic pursuits.

DIVERSITY
A commitment to diversity in all aspects of education distinguishes the Greenwich Academy-Brunswick School experience. The coordinate environment itself presents students with the challenges of difference, and both schools teach students to respect diversity in all its forms - racial, cultural, ethnic, social, intellectual. Students come here with a variety of backgrounds, interests and personalities. Greenwich Academy and Brunswick School encourage their students to develop a unified community through dialogue and encounter; the students learn to communicate and so come to understand both the complexities and ambiguities of a common good and their responsibility to promote this end. The goal is that Academy and Brunswick students gain a sympathetic comprehension of individual and cultural difference, and also understand their capabilities as agents of change.
