My experience at Fenwick has been a positive one. I have found a strong community of fellow athletes, as well as a good group of scholarly students. The parents of the school have a healthy amount of influence in the decisions of the Board, while still giving the administration power over the school.

I can't say enough good things about the culture and academics at Fenwick. However, the drama program is run by a fascist dictator with the power to cancel school on a whim. She has inappropriate relationships with her students and even calls and text them all hours of the night. If that's not bad enough , the nepotism is unparalleled. My advice, choose fenwick because it's a wonderful school, but avoid the drama department like the plague.

I would strongly advise anyone who is interested in attending Bishop Fenwick to reconsider. The current principal, Brother Tom, cares nothing about the core of the school but only the exterior. From the outside looking in Bishop Fenwick seems like a beautiful school with warm and friendly teachers....

This is a very difficult time for Catholic schools in the Boston area, and the principal of Bishop Fenwick has a vision and commitment that is safeguarding the future of this school as others continue to decline. A strong promotion of technology in the classroom has been evidenced over the past few...
