Greetings from Dr. Stephanie J. Hull

Stephanie J. Hull, Ph.D.
Head of the School

Thank you for your interest in the Brearley School. A Brearley education encourages girls to take intellectual risks in an atmosphere that is both challenging and supportive. With the careful guidance of our experienced teachers, students discover their individual passions while learning to value multiple perspectives and to work with people who have diverse points of view. Brearley girls are problem solvers: they learn to evaluate what they hear, read or see, and in doing so they take control of the foundation of their learning, becoming both self-confident and competent.

Balancing their unparalleled academic education with travel study, community service, a wide range of opportunities in the visual and performing arts, an extensive athletics program and an ever-expanding selection of student-run clubs and committees, our students also develop a strong sense of personal integrity; they take seriously their responsibility to engage with the world in productive and principled ways.

Brearley alumnae can point to their record of success at their chosen colleges and beyond as testimony to the quality of the preparation a Brearley education provides. More importantly, our graduates' support of the School attests to their appreciation for the Brearley experience: the joy of learning together and the bonds of friendship that they form with their classmates and, eventually, with their teachers keep our alumnae closely connected to the School and deeply committed to its continued excellence.

I hope you will enjoy learning more about Brearley as you explore our site. Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Admission with any questions or for more information about our School.

Sincerely,

Stephanie J. Hull, Ph.D.
Head of the School
