A beautiful campus and the surrounding environs enticed Peter Hess to Brewster Academy in the fall of 1988 as a teacher in instructional support and the math center. He became the team leader of Brewster's pilot team in 1993 and director of the lower school in 1995.

Mr. Hess came here with a background in teaching at boarding schools. Previously he taught at The Forman School in Litchfield, Connecticut, where he tutored students with learning disabilities and taught earth science, and The Fessenden School in West Newton, Massachusetts, where he was a math instructor, dorm parent, and coach.

He has coached lacrosse, skiing, and basketball during his tenure at Brewster. Mr. Hess lives off campus with his wife and three children. Maggie and Jeremy are current Brewster students and daughter Emily is a 2008 graduate. In his spare time he enjoys taking trips to the ocean, hiking in the mountains, and playing basketball.
