The Brearley School is a top-tier, all-girls independent day school on the Upper East Side, educating roughly 772 students from Kindergarten through Class XII (Grade 12). Founded in 1884, it is a rigorous, nonsectarian liberal-arts college-preparatory school known for academic excellence and a 6:1 student-teacher ratio. Kindergarten is the primary entry point (about 44 seats), with smaller openings at Classes V, VII and IX. Brearley is need-blind-minded in spirit: it awards $9.4 million in aid to about 20% of students and offers free tuition to families earning under $100,000.
