BUCKINGHAM, BROWNE & NICHOLS SCHOOL

Spread across three sites, with the Upper School being located on a sprawling new campus along the Charles River, BB&N is an independent private school admitting pupils from kindergarten through to grade 12. The school is one of the best regarded in the Boston area, if not the United States. The school has a history dating back to 1883 when one of its predecessor schools, Browne & Nichols was established, before merging with the Buckingham School in 1974. BB&N students have won various accolades and merits and the school is part of both the prestigious G30 (having previously been a member of G20) and Round Square associations. The school offers a range of sports and competes against some of New England’s top schools as a member of the Independent School League.
