Leadership

Welcome to Branson!

I am delighted to invite you to step into our vibrant school community and make yourself at home. I hope you will like what you see, hear, and experience. 

Above all else, Branson prides itself on being a student-centered learning environment that is unified by our core values of courage, kindness, honor, and purpose, and whose mission is to send principled young people into the world to solve the problems of their time.

High school is a challenging time for all teenagers, and we take seriously our promise to join hands with parents to safely usher your children to young adulthood, while preparing them for college and the world. To do this, we root all of our work in a deep understanding of the teenage brain – particularly in how students best learn, grow, and become agents of their own education and lives. 

We value excellence in every sense of the word. No matter what area of Branson life you investigate, you will find challenges that draw you in and motivate you to do your best work. 

Our teachers are dedicated to the successful launch of each student and serve as advocates and friends throughout the Branson journey. They are deeply dedicated to providing an intellectually challenging classroom experience so that our students develop the tools and habits of heart and mind that will allow them to succeed far beyond our gates.  

Come in, get comfortable, and look around. Observe our lively classes. Sit among our students and faculty as they make their way through the day filled with laughter, debate, camaraderie, and a genuine joy of learning and growing together.  

Sincerely,
Chris Mazzola
Head of School
