An Ethos of Service

Principled Engagement in the World

From the moment a student enters Brearley, she understands that the purpose of her education is not just to better herself, but to better the lives of the people and the world around her. This ethos of service, to each other and to the community at large, is ingrained in every student. Beyond their years at Brearley, alumnae continue their commitment to the greater good. As demonstrated both professionally and through volunteerism, their work to identify needs, create solutions and effect change, has a profound effect on all the lives they touch.
