Fessenden School has given my son a great education. Parent and Alumni Jim Michals has done a lot to help the school by providing his knowledge of a great hockey facility . The Fessenden Rink has a new facelift ! Two rinks,a synthetic treadmill, new locker rooms, and skating shop. The whole Fessenden community is grateful!
Just an outstanding school. They truly understand the boys and offer excellent academics as well as incredible opportunities for the boys to experience extra-curricular activities. Now that we live outside the Boston area (and are struggling to find a school 1/2 as good as Fessy for our boys), I wish we could give the school 6 stars.
Outstanding school. Our son is so happy there. Could not ask for better. We didn't think we'd end up at an all-boys school, but now we are so happy we did. "Bringing out the best in boys" sounded like just a slogan until we got there. They really mean it. They do it!
Fessenden is a fabulous school which has done wonders for our son. He is currently entering 7th grade and has been there since Kindergarten. The academics are excellent as well as the sports program. The faculty is both caring and supportive and the small classes sizes are great for achieving personal success.
This school is overall perfect. I have been going there since 5th grade. I was in public school, and i was young for my grade so going into 6th grade i decided to repeat my year, and enter fessenden as a 5th grader. This is by far the best decision I have ever made, the school taught me how to study, be prepared, and to be organized. The school also allowed me to excel in sports, I love the school so much words can not describe.
I've been at fessenden for two years and I love it. It is a great school and an amazing school to play sports learn and have fun
Fessenden is an awesome school that gives you the perfect boarding life experience as a student. I have gone to Fessenden from 5th to 8th grade, and I now have great memories from going there.
This is my 3rd year attending Fessy. I went as a 5, 6, and 8th grader. As you can see I returned to my public school for 7th grade and that was a terrible mistake. Fessenden is an exceptional environment and if you appreciate the education you receive there you will love it.
