The Fessenden School is phenomenal in every way. My son has loved his time there over the last three years. The teachers are top tier; the community of parents is incredibly supportive; the administration cares for students at the individual level. We are very pleased with the experience we have had at Fessenden. We highly recommend it.

Our first year was cut short due to Covid but my son was very happy at school. The teachers were great at communicating and made sure he was caught up with the rest of the class given it was his first year at The Fessenden School. The transition was smooth and he always felt comfortable. The End of Day Program was an excellent addition his schedule as well.

At Fessenden School, they put a lot of pride into sleep deprivation of certain students. The subjects were fun at certain times, and required some lengthy written term papers. At Fessenden, I enjoyed the social interaction with other boys, and music and plays were always fun.

I graduated from Fessenden many years ago, but still regard it as the best time of my life. This is an English-style boarding school, so don't expect to see NEA-style namby-pamby codlling here. This school is where boys are taught to be gentlemen, and to take their place in society. Some parents who...
