Phillips Brooks School is an independent, co-educational day school offering a truly child-centered learning program for preschool through 5th grade, located in Menlo Park – neighboring Stanford University. PBS is a diverse community of families and educators committed to partnering in support of student learning. We offer intimate student-to-teacher ratios, ensuring that each child is known and loved by their teachers. Our rigorous, research-based PS–5 curriculum blends literacy, math, language, and STEAM with an unmatched emotional intelligence program. By passionately pursuing core teaching beliefs that set us apart, we create the extraordinary every day at PBS. We guide children to cultivate their individual talents, explore, and dig deep while working and reflecting together. In the process, they discover their best selves – they flourish. You can feel it the moment you step on campus: this is a place that’s open and vibrant, energized by students who are truly known by each adult and peer around them. Here you’ll find engaged children who are fulfilled as they probe meaningful interests and who are challenged as they apply academic and social learning strategies customized for their developmental trajectory. They emerge as skilled, independent thinkers and empowered community builders who thrive intellectually as well as socially. PBS students know how to be learners, how to relate to one another, and who they are. Together with our inclusive, multi-cultural family community, we create a dynamic atmosphere of collaboration and support. With an impressive roster of core and specialist teachers dedicated to preschool through 5th-grade education – and no more than two classrooms per grade – every child and family is an integral partner in our community. There’s an excitement here – a liberating, exhilarating awareness that every day, our students are journeying purposefully to become all they are meant to be. Inspired learners. Inspiring life. This is PBS.
