An Independent, Coed, Friends School, Nursery Through Grade 12

Campus

The Moses Brown School campus provides students with an environment that nourishes their intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth. 

No other campus in Providence gives students such a robust environment—learning and library spaces, athletic fields, performance halls, forested glades, and plenty of open green space in which to study and relax with friends.

Lower School

There are reading lofts, nooks and crannies filled with blocks and toys, an elevated indoor play structure with furniture, dolls, costumes, and more.
