“I believe that economics class has taught me very important concepts that I will use in my real life. I plan to study business in college, and economics has taught me much that I will need to know in this field.”

“Psychology, because it shows you the most about people and what you might need to know later in life. It allows you to have an objective view of people’s behaviors.”
Kevin Molinaro, soccer, basketball
“I think economics is the most important to know in the real world because you learn about the economy and current events.”
Ian Miller
“Technical theater is a very helpful class because it is hard on you and prepares you to be disappointed and realize that not everything will work out in your favor.”
Helen Killian, Gay-Straight Alliance, Environmental Club
“Out of all the courses I’ve taken at Bromfield, I believe that advanced placement (AP) biology will probably be most applicable to my life. I want to go into environmental studies, so a strong science background is imperative, and I think that the AP science offerings at Bromfield have the rigorous coursework to provide a great foundation.”
Russell Phelan, music
“Psychology has taught me the most about the real world. More than just academic, my psych class teaches me about the way people think and why people react the way they do. Other classes teach on paper, whereas psych class teaches by discussion and experiences.”
Ross Jacobson, golf
“Economics is the class which stands out the most, since it teaches everyone about the economy. It gives people an idea about what they have to do when they grow up. We learn about many different concepts such as trading stock, how the Fed works, and how banks are run.”
