Breakwater’s toddler through eighth grade structure is among our greatest assets. It allows us a carefully constructed continuum of academic and social preparation where skills intentionally build on one another. Faculty communicate and collaborate within and across all grade levels allowing teachers to really understand each child as they progress. With Step Up Night (Thursday, March 2) we invite current families to join us in building strong, effective partnerships in support of the amazing children we serve.   Learn more...

The 5th grade’s upcoming trip to Mt. Cardigan is one in a series of overnight trips at Breakwater that in recent years have begun in third grade. The goals of our outdoor, overnight programming are both immediate and far-reaching, including team-building, improving group-process and conflict resolution skills, developing self-confidence, environmental awareness, resilience, empathy and sense of place in the world. And, of course: to have an incredible amount of fun!  Learn more ... about Mt. Cardigan and other annual overnight adventures!

We strongly believe enrolling a diverse and talented group of children and their families benefits all in our school community. Nurturing tomorrow’s successful and innovative impact-makers depends on recruiting and developing a diverse student body today. Toward this goal, we provide need-based financial assistance to qualified K through 8 families. Aid applications for returning families are due by February 17. Due dates for newly applying families roll with the admissions process. To learn more about the why's and how's of Breakwater's financial aid, and for forms and instructions, click through...

The Breakwater Way at work! This week, students at all grade levels are sharing with each other and the school community some of the learning experienced over the last few months in interactive, curated “Showcases”. Both the process and product are on display. We do so because we recognize the high value in the process of learning, not just in the products!
