Description

After more than 100 years, these three values could ring hollow, but they are solid at Fessenden and continue to be our guiding principles. From the Headmaster down, boys are taught, guided and supported by a community united by these common and timeless values. Boys may lose their way at times, but with the consistent guidance and example that adults provide in their academic, social and emotional lives at Fessenden, they find their path and grow stronger from the journey. Fessenden aims to develop well-rounded citizens. Academics are valued, of course, but many boys find that in addition to academics they learned important life lessons during their time at Fessenden. Parents of both day and boarding students play an integral part at Fessenden. Informed and involved, they are a vibrant, driving force supporting their son's educational and personal growth. Regular two-way communication between parents and their son's teachers and advisors is a critical factor in each boy's success. Our open and welcoming atmosphere for parents results in a large number of parent volunteers, whose presence is valued immensely. As a residential community for 100 boarding students, our 41 acre campus remains active even after the final school bell has rung for the day. More than 40 faculty, staff and their families live on campus, many of whom, are married and have young children. Several pets can also be counted among our extended family...
