Browne Academy

For 6 consecutive years, Browne Academy has had students recognized in the national C-SPAN StudentCam competition. This morning, C-SPAN Education's Zach Lowe, Virginia Delegate Garrett McGuire, Fairfax Supervisor Rodney Lusk, and Cox Communications' Kathryn Faulk came to our gym to honor 8th grader Maddox Schutter.

Maddox earned national recognition for his documentary Is Gerrymandering Going to Affect Your Vote? — a film that examines how gerrymandering shapes political representation and who really has a voice in our democracy. Congratulations to our Bruins.

Congratulations to our Class of 2026! We are so proud of these Bruins and can't wait to see all they accomplish in high school and beyond. Here's where our 8th graders are headed next.

Once a Bruin, always a Bruin!

Eid Mubarak to our students, families, and colleagues observing Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha, the "Festival of Sacrifice," is one of the two major Islamic holidays and marks the culmination of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. It is celebrated with morning prayers, time with family and community, and acts of generosity and charity toward those in need.

We invite our community to continue learning together through these trusted resources:

Britannica Kids — kids.britannica.com
National Geographic Education — education.nationalgeographic.org
PBS NewsHour — pbs.org/newshour
Smithsonian's Asian Pacific American Center — smithsonianapa.org

Wishing peace and joy to all who celebrate.

“It is YOUR difference that makes you amazing.” Those words from Kyren Gyrel set the tone as our middle school diversity committee gathered for a closing breakfast and one final safe space. Thank you to Ms. Wright and Ms. Schutter for spearheading this inaugural committee and creating a space where students could reflect, learn, and be themselves.

Congratulations to our Class of 2026! We are so proud of these Bruins and can't wait to see all they accomplish in high school and beyond. Here's where our 8th graders are headed next.
