Secondary School Placement Services

Browne Academy’s secondary school placement program works with each eighth grade family to find the best match for each student. We design the program to help the eighth grader find the secondary school that best meets his or her needs and interests. Our placement counselors begin working with the families during seventh grade and guide the families through the selection and application process. At Browne, we are the student’s advocate as he or she prepares for graduation, secondary school, and “Life beyond Browne.”

Please contact placement counselors Judy England-Joseph at jjoseph@browneacademy.org or Sue Schlickeisen at sschlickeisen@browneacademy.org for additional information.
