Fenn offers an academically challenging day school program for boys in grades 4 through 9.  Of course we prepare our students for entrance into competitive secondary schools, but at Fenn, our primary focus is on instilling in boys a love of learning that will carry them throughout their lives.  While Fenn isn't the right school for every boy, everything we do is about and for boys.  Our focus is on educating the whole boy-balancing the intellectual excitement of academics with the arts and athletics.  And all that we do rests on a foundation of Fenn's four core values:  honesty, respect, empathy and courage.

School Notes:

  • Fenn's academic program is deliberately broad, offering a range of learning opportunities that allows teachers to create educational experiences that motivate each boy, engage him in intellectual discovery, build his confidence, and help him discover a true love of learning.  In the spirit of Sua Sponte, each Fenn student takes responsibility for achieving his own personal best as he explores interests and talents that will prepare him for high school, college, and life.

Here are a dozen or so girls' schools' public thoughts about themselves and their missions.

Make Summer a Special Time! Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.
