Phillips Exeter
Academy is an
exclusive
boarding school,
which required
new teachers to
live on campus
for several
years, so Brown
and his siblings
were literally
raised at the
school. The
social
environment at
Exeter was
mostly
Christian.
Brown sang in
the church
choir,
attended
Sunday school,
and spent
summers at
church camp. His
own schooling
was at public
schools in
Exeter until the
9th grade, at
which time he
enrolled in
Phillips Exeter
(Class of 1982),
as did his
younger siblings
Valerie (1985)
and Gregory
(1993) when it
became their
turn.
