What The Fessenden School told us

What kind of student thrives here?

A student who is curious about the world, willing to take risks and learn from mistakes, open to being challenged, and interested in becoming a better version of himself while contributing to the community around him.

What every new family should know before arriving

The school is designed for boys to become deeply involved in the community—academically, athletically, socially, artistically, and, for boarding students, residentially.

Something most people don't know

The school has been operating for more than 120 years, yet it has continually reinvented itself rather than simply preserving tradition.
