“Brunswick school, inc. (the school) is a not for profit day school, founded in 1902, for boys in pre kindergarten through twelfth grade. The school, which is located in greenwich, connecticut, is exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the u.s. Internal revenue code. The purpose of the school is to educate the "whole boy". It will do so by helping boys and young men - without regard to culture, ethnicity or religion - acquire the personal, intellectual and physical training that will best enable them to grow into responsible adults who can make significant and lasting contributions to society. Since 1902, brunswick school has been, in the words of george carmichael, its founder, "ably and generously preparing boys for life." through a rich and rigorous college preparatory curriculum, the school strives for the fullest intellectual development of every young man. The school's academic programs seek to instill in each student a desire to learn, to challenge each boy to fulfill his own unique potential, to foster critical thinking skills and to develop the creative and independent qualities of mind necessary to intellectual maturity and increased self-confidence. The school also believes that a complete education must include lessons that take place outside the classroom. Through athletics, arts and service to the community, every student is encouraged to develop his talents to the fullest, to understand the obligation to share them generously, to take risks to ensure growth and to refuse to accept narrow definition of himself. And as its young men grow in an atmosphere of trust, care and mutual respect, the school accepts that its overriding objective is to foster the development of strong character. The school strives to instill in its students the values of honesty, integrity, compassion and tolerance and to develop in each student a sense of responsibility to himself, to those around him, to the school community and to the greater society. The school believes, above all else, that it is the strength of a young man's character and the depth of his spirit that determine and define all genuine and lasting success.”

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process did not change from the prior year.”
