Buckingham Browne & Nichols School

Buckingham Browne & Nichols School (BB&N), formed in 1974 through the merger of two historic Cambridge schools, is one of New England's most distinguished independent co-educational day schools, serving Pre-K through Grade 12. The school enrolls approximately 1,000 students across three campuses in Cambridge and is accredited by NEASC. BB&N offers a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum featuring advanced coursework, a strong emphasis on STEM and the arts, and a nationally competitive athletics programme. Situated in Cambridge's intellectual heartland — adjacent to Harvard University — BB&N draws the children of Harvard and MIT faculty, Silicon Valley executives with Boston offices, and international researchers and diplomats. The school's exceptional university placement record reflects its academic rigour; graduates consistently attend Ivy League and other highly selective institutions. BB&N's three distinct campuses allow age-appropriate learning environments while fostering a strong school-wide community.
