The Brewster Model meets you where you are now, and helps you become your best self.

Your teachers truly know you, work with you individually, and support you in collaborative and project-based learning. You'll learn within a supportive team environment that helps you understand yourself, learn from others, and experience the joy of achieving together both in and out of the classroom.

Hands-on, focused, and fun! Students explore real-world experiences outside the classroom.

Learning Expeditions are an integral part of the Brewster educational experience. They provide our students with the opportunity to step out of the classroom and make real-world connections to course content.

At Brewster Madrid, we are committed to supporting the development of the whole child.

In addition to providing students with a robust academic experience, Brewster hosts a variety of sports, clubs, and activities. Offering change every trimester, but the most popular activities like basketball or soccer are offered yearlong.

At Brewster Madrid, we know that in order to learn, students need to be in a good place emotionally and socially.

For us, wellbeing counseling is all about supporting students' mental and emotional health. Our goal is to offer a safe, welcoming space where students can talk about any challenges they’re facing: from stress to friendships, or personal issues. We are here to listen, understand, and help students work through their problems in a positive, solution-focused way. We like to call ourselves “professional problem-solvers”!.

Our goal is to find each Brewster student their best-fit university.

Brewster coaches each student through the university application process to ensure that all students are well placed and have a number of choices for university. Because we are a network of schools, students have access to considerable resources and expertise regarding colleges and universities across the globe. Our university counseling office works with each student to provide them with individualized guidance and support as they navigate the admissions experience.

Brewster Murcia Celebrates Its Official Inauguration

Murcia, November 8, 2024

Brewster Murcia has officially opened its doors, establishing itself as an educational institution with a strong commitment to the community. This event marks the expansion of Brewster Academy’s innovative approach and was attended by distinguished figures such as Luis Eduardo Gómez, Director of Educational Centers for the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia; and members of the institution, with the special participation of families and faculty.

Craig Gemmell, President of Brewster Academy and Brewster Academy Spain, highlighted three core principles in his speech:

Transformation at the Core: “Brewster’s vision is based on transformation: an education with the power to change communities and the lives of the students in our care,” stated Gemmell, emphasizing Brewster’s transformative approach to education.

A Commitment to the World: Reflecting on current challenges, he noted, “Our world is not well, and many feel, understandably, confused and powerless. What can we do with these feelings? I suggest that we commit ourselves here, together, and make Brewster Murcia a great school.”

A Call for Collaboration and Growth: Addressing the students, faculty, and families of Brewster Murcia, Gemmell encouraged everyone to join forces to build a school that fosters excellence and opportunity, reminding all that “through the actions of our students today and tomorrow, the world will be transformed.”
The event concluded with the unveiling of a commemorative inauguration plaque.

Brewster Murcia positions itself as an educational project dedicated to excellence and with a strong purpose to positively impact the community of Murcia and the lives of its students.
