The happiest and saddest day of each Northbrook Year is graduation day. This day is so difficult because we are so insanely proud of all our graduates and happy that they are ready for high school and yet VERY sad to have to let them go. Northbrook is a community in which students, siblings, parents, and extended family are all welcome and involved. This amazing support system is one tool that helps Northbrook students to try many new things and therefore develop a great deal of self-confidence that serves them well as alumni. Our alumni report that their Northbrook years were some of the best times of their lives. Who says the middle school years have to be awful? For many Northbrook students the only "awful" part is that they pass so awfully quickly!

Because we educate the whole person (in mind, body and spirit) it is hard to pinpoint in alumni what part of their Northbrook Experiences was most valuable. Some claim it was the study skills and the rigorous academics that set them up for all AP classes in high school. Others detail the discovery of a passion for theater or music that they will carry with them for life. Still others found they liked running or swimming and look forward to pursuing these sports competitively in high school.

We have successfully placed students into high schools based upon their individual needs and aptitudes. Public, private, parochial and competitive boarding schools have been proud to accept Northbrook students because they are fine students, athletes, artists, citizens and leaders.

Some private high schools that have recently accepted Northbrook students include:
BC High (Boston, MA), Bishop Feehan (Attleboro, MA), Bristol Plymouth (Taunton, MA), Cardinal Spellman (Brockton, MA), Concord Academy (Concord, MA), Coyle Cassidy (Taunton, MA), Deerfield Academy (Deerfield, MA), Governor's Academy (Byfield, MA), Hebron Academy (Hebron, ME), Kent, (Kent, CT), Northfield Mount Hermon (Mount Hermon, MA), Principia (St. Louis, Missouri), Sacred Heart (Kingston, MA), Tabor Academy (Marion, MA) and Thayer Academy (Braintree, MA) ,
