Moses Brown School
Founded in 1784, the historic Moses Brown School is known for nurturing the unique talents and attributes of children, urging them on toward new levels of selfdiscovery and achievement, and always insisting on a rigorous commitment to integrity. The school honors and upholds Quaker practices and values, while also embracing students of every faith and background. Families are encouraged to learn more about the school by visiting www.mosesbrown.org or www.facebook. com/mosesbrownschool. Located in the center of Providence, Moses Brown’s 33 acre campus is a lush and green oasis. Children enjoy the use of all facilities, including the state-of-the-art artificial turf field, soccer field, softball diamond, woodshop, ceramic studio, computer labs, and performance halls.
Moses Brown School has offered rewarding and exciting summer programs for more than 50 years. Moses Brown is a Quaker school, and many of the traditions and values that are a part of the Friends’ philosophy find expression in our camps. All camp programs work with the basic belief that everyone matters and has something to offer, silence matters, and truth matters. Reflection and consensus are important, simplicity is valued, differences and diversity are celebrated. Our campers hail from a variety of places, with the majority coming from surrounding MB communities in Rhode Island and Southeastern New England. We also have welcomed campers from across the country, and from as far away as Austria, China, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and Venezuela.
