Only the dumb kids go to privates in Greenwich.

You may want to look at rye country day as a co-ed alternative. Education seems to be on par with Brunswick, but I’m not sure about sports. Like Landon, I would not send my kid to Brunswick if they were not into sports and kind of a “bro”.

OP - Thanks for answering, but I don't know anything about Landon besides that it's a boys school. Can you be more specific please?


Not that pp but Landon is a boys school in the sense it is very, very sporty and has had various scandals regarding the treatment of girls at sister schools - grading them effectively in terms of sexual activity (there's an old Washington Post article if you search for it). The scandal was deep rooted in the ethos of the coaches who knew and did nothing to stop it. A coach was fired but was also a parent - so you can see how deeply that ran. While the big scandal was probably 10 years ago now, it is a long running issue with boys only schools (think St Paul's in the NE etc). So I would just bear that in mind.


Oh, the humanity!

I have two young relatives who attended relatively recently. Their parents (very picky Ivy Leaguers), were happy with the school both academically and athletically.

My two young relatives seemed to have healthy relationships with girls, both as friends and girlfriends. But I would never dismiss any concerns on that front, it’s just that I was never aware that was an issue.

Brunswick School and Greenwich Academy definitely seemed to be mainstays of the local community, from what I could make out.

+1 This.
And if your boy gets caught doing drugs at Brunswick, he'll end up going to GHS instead.

If anyone one here knows... Would love to know more about Brunswick, especially high school and middle school. Wondering how it compares to other area independent private schools. Thanks!
