As a soon to be graduate from Field, I've had a very positive experience. Field has taught me how to be a strong student with a good work ethic. I had amazing relationships with my teachers making it easier and comfortable when it came to asking for help. Field provided every tool I could need to become successful in life. I got to engage with my peers through events planned by Field and gained a strong sense of community. Field has helped shape me into the person I am today and definitely helped set me up to continue on my next journey.

My son is a Senior at Field and he started as a 9th grader during Covid. It was a difficult time to start at a new school but Field did a great job and he managed to make friends and have a decent 9th grade year. 10th--12th grade have been normal (no zoom school!) and he has had a great experience. The teachers are terrific, and this is a wonderful school if your child is creative, or a kid who wants to play sports but might be cut from teams at a school with more competitive sports. The school pays great attention to social/emotional health of the kids, and the school counselor, Alice, is fantastic. The head of the HS, Page, is really great--smart, gets to know the kids, and understands what makes individual kids special. Students learn to advocate for themselves and I feel my son is ready for college.

The Field School's environment is like no other school's. Everyone, whether they are a student, teacher, or faculty member, knows one another. It's a very close-knit community which is something I love very much about this school. I got to meet so many interesting and diverse people which made my experience at The Field School something that I'll never forget.

As a parent of a sixth grade student, we've been very impressed with the level of faculty and administrative involvement and support for our daughter. The school is extremely welcoming and has an incredible community.

My daughter had an amazing experience at The Field School. She started in 7th grade and came from a very traditional inside the box kind of school which was stifling. The Field School really knew how to bring out her strengths and the hands on, experiential learning environment allowed her to thrive...

Horrible attitude towards children’s socioemotional development. Racism amongst staff is barely addressed, mocking of student disabilities is ignored, parent concerns are dismissed with statements that “things have always been like that.” Advisory is a waste of time and there is no effort to foster...

“Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education.” – Martin Luther King Jr. The Field School has been our twin's "passport to their future" for nearly 7 years. The open line of communication and the immense respect between the Field faculty and their students is like no other. There h...
