A Brotherhood of Support: Ernie Rosato’s Journey at Brunswick

For Ernie Rosato ’11, Brunswick is a family affair. He’s the oldest of five brothers to attend the School, and entered in 5th grade after a younger brother started out in kindergarten. (For the record, Ernie was soon followed by William ’13, Colin ’15, Lachlan ’18, and Aengus ’20.) 

“Brunswick was my parents’ first choice for my brothers and me,” Ernie said. “They wanted the guidance and structure of an all-boys school where academics were a priority and where expectations for both achievement and personal responsibility were high.” 

Attending Brunswick for eight years, as Ernie tells it, was life-changing. 

“I learned so many life lessons, including maybe the most valuable of all, learning how to learn. I forged friendships that remain my closest to this day.”

Ernie was a three-sport varsity athlete in football, hockey, and baseball, and captained the football team. He was named a Senior Peer Leader and voted president of his class. 

“Brunswick does a great job preparing you for life’s challenges. Expectations were high, but the support network of faculty and fellow students was always there to encourage and push you to succeed. That’s an environment that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a supportive community of fellow Brunswick brothers.”

Ernie attended the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Economic History, and currently lives in New York City and works as an Associate at Related, a real estate firm.
