The Brother Rice Advantage
Brother Rice High School: A Tradition of Brotherhood, A Foundation of Excellence
At Brother Rice, the standard is excellence, rooted in faith, shaped by character, and carried forward in a brotherhood that lasts a lifetime.
In classrooms where tradition meets innovation, students learn to think critically, lead with confidence, and express themselves with conviction — discovering their strengths while forging lifelong bonds. Our rigorous curriculum unlocks each student’s potential while nurturing integrity. Students are animated to learn and empowered to achieve, setting the course for personal, educational, and professional pursuits beyond Brother Rice, uniquely prepared to leave their mark on the world.
Academic Excellence
Learning Excellence at Brother Rice is not a tagline; it is the lived reality of a school community committed to being innovative, challenging, and engaging. Each day, young men walk into classrooms led by exceptional educators who care deeply not only about the subject matter but also about the students themselves. They offer invaluable guidance and encouragement, acknowledging each student’s distinct potential and, more importantly, instilling the confidence for students to see it within themselves.
The curriculum is rigorous and intentionally designed to meet students where they are and then take them to the next level. From Honors and Advanced Placement offerings to the Achieve Plus program, Brother Rice ensures every student, from the gifted scholar to the one who benefits from extra guidance, finds his own path to success. It is a formation that demands excellence and builds confidence.
Key to this transformative journey is the Center for Learning & Achievement, a dynamic hub that fosters experiential learning, leadership skills, character development, and innovative thinking. Here, students discover hidden talents, seize leadership opportunities, and acquire invaluable life skills while balancing academics, athletics, arts, and service. With our vast network of accomplished alumni across diverse industries, students build meaningful connections through special programs where alumni share real-world experiences, offering mentorship, professional insights, and personal guidance that shape character and inspire future aspirations.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Excellence at Brother Rice extends far beyond campus. Students take part in transformative experiences around the world — from medical missions in Costa Rica and service trips to Peru, to science explorations in Iceland and community outreach in Detroit. In Europe, they encounter art and history, walk the great cathedrals, and explore Latin culture, while in Spain, they deepen language skills and embrace its rich traditions. Students discover that the most powerful lessons often happen outside the classroom. These experiences shape hearts as well as minds, cultivating humility, resilience, and perspective. Students return not only with new skills and memories, but with deeper faith, stronger empathy, and a clearer sense of purpose.
Brotherhood for Life
Brotherhood is both the foundation and the culmination of the Brother Rice experience. From the moment a young man enters the Band of Brothers program, he becomes part of a network that builds friendships across grade levels and ensures that no one walks alone. This spirit of brotherhood anchors academic rigor, instills character, fuels service and faith formation, and amplifies the Warrior spirit.
It is the thread that ties every lesson, challenge, and triumph together.
Brother Rice forms leaders of faith, character, and excellence — young men ready to make a difference in the world, empowered with knowledge, guided by compassion, and upheld by a lifelong brotherhood.
