Kim Ross is the dean of Brewster's Office of Academic Support programs. She grew up in nearby North Conway, New Hampshire, and has always wanted to teach and live in this area. While teaching at an independent boarding school in Massachusetts, she learned about Brewster Academy.

"I was interested in teaching at a school that worked with a diverse group of learners. I started at Brewster in 1987 when my oldest son was 1; he is now a senior at Brewster!"

"I believe that each person is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. Teaching is a fine balance of the arts and sciences where there are measurable accomplishments and room for creativity and fun. An educator seeks to know each person and provide opportunities for students to clearly recognize the growth and achievement they have made and by doing so helps build self-confident learners."

Prior to Brewster, Ms. Ross held a number of positions at the Landmark School in Massachusetts, including co-chair of the math department, oral language teacher, math teacher, and a language arts tutor. Prior to that she was a speech and language pathologist with the University of New Hampshire's community outreach program.

Ms. Ross' school experience also includes coaching and being a dorm parent.

She enjoys being involved in her kids' lives and all outdoor activities, including sailing, kayaking, camping, traveling, playing softball and volleyball, hiking, photography, reading, knitting, and skating.

Ms. Ross lives on campus in Harris House with her daughter Maisie. Her son Zach is a 2005 Brewster graduate and son Ben is a 2008 graduate.
