HISTORY

The May School was founded in 1880 and the Brimmer School in 1887. In 1939, these two well-known Boston schools merged. In 1954, Brimmer and May moved to its current location, three miles west of Boston in Chestnut Hill. Brimmer and May became fully coeducational in 1992. 
 
From the beginning, we have been committed to creating high-achieving lifelong learners with strong moral character. Today, Brimmer and May continues this tradition as we educate students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12.
