Brewster Academy is an independent boarding and day high school in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, a lakeside town in the Lakes Region beside Lake Winnipesaukee. It was founded in 1820 as Wolfeborough and Tuftonborough Academy. It has approximately 350 students, about 85% of them boarders, a student/faculty ratio of 6:1 and an average class size of 12. Brewster opened its first international campus in Madrid's Chamberí neighbourhood in 2023 and a second Madrid campus in La Moraleja in 2025.

Teaching follows the school's team-based Brewster Model, in which each student belongs to one of seven academic teams. The college-preparatory curriculum includes AP and special topics courses and a wide range of electives, as well as Interim Studies and Global Immersion programmes. English language learning programmes and instructional support plans are offered for an extra fee. Students can join more than 25 clubs, affinity groups and service organisations, and take part in athletics and the arts; crew and sailing use the school's boathouse on the lake.

For 2026-27, boarding tuition is US$80,800, including room and board, and day tuition is US$44,700. The school states that it provides over US$5 million in financial aid to 36% of its students. Applicants first send an inquiry, then visit the campus or talk virtually with an admissions counsellor before applying.

Financial Aid

Brewster states that it provides over US$5 million in financial aid to 36% of its students. Families apply through the Clarity application, which determines financial need; aid received in the first year generally continues in later years if families reapply annually. Families who enrol without aid are unlikely to receive it later. Freshman applicants who live in the Lakes Region can be considered for the Curvey Scholar Program.

Housing

About 85% of students board. Boarding tuition includes room and board, and many faculty families live on campus with the students. The campus is a five-minute walk from downtown Wolfeboro.
