Key Competencies

In general, successful members of the Browning faculty are: 

• Champions of boys -- They believe in and love the expansive potential in boys. 

• Relationship-oriented -- They actively build meaningful relationships with students and families.

• Purpose-driven -- They are inquiry-minded, curious and resourceful in finding solutions and growth opportunities.

• Justice-seeking -- They seek to address students and their needs with an equity-oriented and antiracist lens and engage in the deep work of equity in the classroom and school community.
