Totally amazing school on all levels. Jayne Geiger has transformed FHCDS into one of the leading elementary schools in the nation.
After 17 years as a Far Hills Country Day School family, our youngest daughter will graduate in June and move on to secondary school. Our entire family will always be indebted to Jayne Geiger, Rob Berkman and the entire FHCDS faculty for what they have done for all of our children. It is a marvelous school. We are glad that we chose Far Hills for our children.
My three older children have all graduated from Far Hills and our youngest is now in 7th grade. We have seen first hand how the school has grown to be the best elementary/middle school in the Somerset/Morris County area. Jayne Geiger, the headmaster, is truly amazing. The new primary school and fields look like they belong to a small college. Work is currently underway on a new athletic center and performing arts center. My older children all wish they could go back and start over at Far Hills. We love the school and what it has done for all our children.
Far Hills is a relatively small school, but it has the facilities and programs you would expect to find at a far larger school. The classes are small (12-14 per class) so the teachers really get to know all of the students very, very well. In fact, all the faculty and staff know all of the students. The athletic and drama programs are first rate. Children are exposed to Mandarin Chinese and Spanish or French in Pre-K. In middle school they also learn Latin. The math and science program have improved greatly over the past couple of years. High school placement is given great importance and most of their graduates wind up at the top schools of their choice. My 8th grade daughter was just accepted early decision at her first choice high school. Between our three daughters we have been at Far Hills Country Day School for 17 amazing years.
