The Beaver Student Experience
Meet Dom Culbreath '28
Coming to Beaver was a big change! I was nervous about meeting new people and learning a whole new school. After that first week, I had already made new friends. Everyone was really nice and welcoming.

Meet Eva Bachman '31
I really liked Mr. Greenberg as a teacher because he was always super fun and very patient. He also knew how to make us focus on work and support us.

Meet Emma Shub ’24
Being a Beaver student means that you are learning in an intimate environment; it means that you are learning in an engaged and driven community. Beaver is a launchpad for phenomenal work, and Beaver students are interesting.

Beaver taught me how to think differently and engage with all kinds of people. Students are seen as so much more than just numbers. It is evident that teachers genuinely care about students and are incredibly well-versed in their subject. Beaver offers incredible amounts of opportunities, and each and every student takes a unique path, with tons of support along the way.
