History
Founded in 1902 by George B. Carmichael, Brunswick School is a college preparatory day school serving approximately 900 boys in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 12.
Facilities
The school is made up of three different campuses. The Upper School campus is located on Maher Avenue in Greenwich. The Upper School English annex and Pre-School building is located on North Maple Avenue, a short walk away from the Upper School. The bucolic Edwards Campus (named after the former Headmaster, Duncan Edwards, II) is located about 15 minutes away from the Maher Avenue campus on King Street. Edwards Campus is made up of both the Middle School and Lower School buildings, as well as the Burke Fieldhouse (basketball, wrestling, tennis, and the Cosby Weight Room) and Sampson Fieldhouse (which houses the Dann O'Neil Gym, the Stephens Squash Courts, and Hartong Rink). A new turf field (Cosby Field) is the home to the varsity football and lacrosse teams.[1]
