Company Profile
Breck School
Company Overview
Breck School is an Episcopal, coeducational, college-preparatory day school enrolling 1,160 students of diverse backgrounds in grades preschool through twelve. All grades are located on one exceptionally impressive campus less than ten miles west of Minneapolis. Among the facilities is a thoroughly redesigned Upper School, opened in 2013.
Founded in 1886, Breck was named for a pioneer missionary, the Reverend James Lloyd Breck. In its earliest years, Breck attracted students from a wide range of backgrounds, partiulcarly children of local immigrant farmers. Over the course of the next 80 years, the school moved several times, briefly experimented with an all-boys military focus, and in 1981 moved to its current location in Minneapolis.
Today, Breck is regarded as one of the finest coeducational day schools in the country. Guided by a dedication to service, a commitment to character education, and a desire to foster responsible stewards of the community and the environment, Breck's mission is to:
- Prepare each student for a college whose culture is compatible with the individual's needs, interests, and abilities.
- Help develop each student's unique talents and potential to excel by nurturing independence and self-worth.
- Instill in each student a deep sense of social responsibility.
