I really love Fessenden, because it has a very supportive and diverse community from around the world. The teachers and dorm parents are very nice, and the kids there are very supportive. I highly recommend this school.

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.

We have 4 sons with different learning styles, interests and personalities. Fessenden was able to meet the boys where they were and help them develop socially, emotionally as well as academically.

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...
