The Branson School Reviews
Rating 4.48 out of 5 86 reviews
Branson is an exceptional school. The academics are rigorous, the campus is stunning, and the food is gourmet, but if there's one thing that stands out to me, it's the teachers. Not only are they highly qualified (think Ph.D.'s from Stanford, years of experience), but they also genuinely care about students' learning. They're friendly, engaging, and willing to discuss just about anything with you. In fact, I've hardly had a single negative experience with any of them in my four years at Branson, which says a lot.
Another strong point is the college counseling program. Our college counselors are extremely kind and helpful in navigating students through the inherently stressful college application process; they also write fantastic letters of recommendation and give excellent tips, evidenced by our college placement statistics that rival those of Exeter, Andover, Harvard-Westlake, etc.
Overall, I highly recommend Branson to anyone looking for a well-rounded high school experience.

Branson is a wonderful place to be a student. The teachers are very committed, caring and accessible. They develop individual relationships with students and encourage them to self-advocate. They support students in their exploration of extracurricular and other passions. The junior fellowship offers students an opportunity to produce a creative endeavor from start to finish, whether that is research, a documentary, a nonprofit or other ideas. There are opportunities for all students to participate in sports or the arts and time during school for clubs. The culture is welcoming and inclusive.
What distinguishes Branson is the focus on mental health and understanding how the teen brain functions. The head of school makes a point of emphasizing that and it’s evident by how happy the kids are. My only concern is the amount of homework my child has but it seems like that’s a common practice among all the top academic schools.
