Brewster Madrid offers Grade 10 students the opportunity to live and study at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire during the Winter and Spring Trimesters, experiencing American boarding school life while becoming part of a global learning community.
Growth Through Global Experience
For many families, the Grade 10 American Experience Program is an opportunity for students to take an important step toward greater independence while remaining within the support of the Brewster community. Living and studying at Brewster Academy helps students build confidence, responsibility, and the skills needed to navigate life away from home. By experiencing a residential school environment, students gain a glimpse of university life, learning how to manage their time, advocate for themselves, and form meaningful connections with peers from around the world. It is a transformative experience that encourages personal growth and prepares students for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
