Our learning environment is specifically designed to provide the perfect balance of outstanding academic programs and an unsurpassed level of extracurricular activities.

These activities not only engage our students in the local community, but they also immerse them in international cultures. Through international travel, exchanges, sports and fine arts competitions with our Meritas sister schools in foreign countries our students develop into global citizens.

NBPS boasts a 100 percent college-acceptance rate with recent graduates now attending universities such as Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, MIT, Notre Dame, Yale and Princeton.

We offer the broadest possible curriculum that includes 23 advanced placement (AP) courses in 20 separate disciplines as well as the International Baccalaureate diploma program.

Our student-to-teacher ratio is 8:1 with an average class size of 14. This allows our dedicated teachers to provide an individualized learning experience that challenges every child to reach their fullest academic potential.

Our academic programs are augmented by our award-winning fine arts program, 60 athletic teams, digital media opportunities, student government and numerous clubs and societies. Our residential student program has been an integral part of NBPS since 2001. Our on-campus residences provide a warm and homey environment. Students share comfortable bedrooms, two to a room (and all with Internet access), as well as recreation rooms, meeting/study rooms, TV and games lounges, kitchens, dining areas and laundry facilities. The Housemaster’s suite in each residence assures accessibility and supervision of residents. In addition residential students, of course, have the entire Upper School campus at their disposal. Residents can enjoy our 3 swimming pools, gym, weight and exercise rooms, track, library, computer labs, art studios, music and dance studios, digital media suite, tennis courts, basketball courts and all-weather soccer/football field. It’s like living in a country club with the very best educational resources available.

NBPS is in the top tier of college preparatory schools anywhere in the world.
