THE FESSENDEN SCHOOL
West Newton, MA
IS FESSENDEN YOUR
NEXT SCHOOL?
Imagine a school that rejoices in the fact
that boys move while they learn, work and
create. Imagine that school staffed by adults
who nurture that quality, one where the
program is full of opportunities for doing,
creating, playing, imagining and thinking.
Dwell for a minute on a community that puts
character first, one that believes that the
qualities of honesty, compassion and
respect are paramount and undergird all
that men will do in their lives. Envision a
school in a spectacular suburban setting
with facilities second to none, with a record
of academic, athletic, and artistic
achievements that rival any school of its
type anywhere. Think about
a campus where diversity is
real, appreciated and
celebrated every day, where
boys from all over the world
study and interact together
to become men who love
their school and are fiercely
loyal to it.
Now look inside yourself.
Are you someone who
embraces the energy and
enthusiasm boys bring to
learning? Do you believe in
hands-on learning, on boy-
centered classrooms where activity
abounds? Do you see a desire to be a
leader in boys’ education, to rejoice in the
their development into healthy, well-
adjusted men of character and impact?
Will you enjoy living on a campus with
over 100 junior boarders and nearly 50
residential faculty being part of their lives?
Does being head of one of the best boys’
schools in the country excite you? Can
you speak with passion and conviction
about a school that transforms its
students? If you can imagine that school
and you in it, read on—Fessenden
beckons.
