The Fessenden School, West Newton MA, is more than an independent day and boarding school for boys in Pre-K-Grade 9. It’s the perfect intersection of tradition and innovation. A place where tried and true educational techniques are woven seamlessly into a STEAM-inspired, passion-based curriculum. A diverse, inclusive, and nurturing community that emphasizes academic excellence and character development.
Parents recognize faculty for understanding how boys learn best and for providing the individual support and encouragement children need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Fessenden also has the distinction of being one of the few schools, worldwide, invited to partner with NuVu (an innovation school founded by MIT graduates) to deliver an academic program that encourages students to be creative problem solvers, critical thinkers and global citizens. NuVu helped Fessenden design its spectacular Ciongoli Center for Innovation and its project-based curriculum – a model that hundreds of educators have visited Fessenden to experience firsthand.
Don’t miss our Pre-K–Grade 9 Open House on Saturday, September 27, 1:00–3:00 PM. We also offer weekly on-campus and virtual tours from October through mid-December. Register for all of these events at https://info.fessenden.org/admissions-events
