Our daughter started at the Field School in 7th grade and was welcomed as though she'd started along with everyone else in 6th grade. She is genuinely happy and excited to go to school every day and talks about what she has learned with knowledge and enthusiasm. She also really enjoys her time participating in soccer, theater, Science Olympiad, and yearbook while having a robust social life within and outside of school. As parents we have also loved all of the Field sponsored events that build community including cocktail receptions held at the homes of fellow parents and the Winter Concert. My husband and I don't feel that we could have found a better school that supports our daughter's academic success as well as her growth as a good steward of the world around her.

I've been attending field for seven years now, I'm happy with the education I've received I have had a few bumps in the road with specific students and things in school but my overall experience has been nothing short of amazing.

My experience at the Field school was overall great. I made lots of connections with not only my piers, but also my teachers. It's a school where you are free to be yourself while also figuring out what works best for different learning styles. While being there I didn't always feel like I was going to school, I felt like I was at my second home. The community atmosphere was such a great feeling and made it so much more fun to come to school.

My son graduated from The Field School several years ago. Field changed his life. He became confident, well rounded, engaged. He went on to the Ivy League for grad and post grad work. As a parent of an alumni I am grateful for the dedication to well rounded students who are ready to contribute to th...

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...
