The Fessenden School is phenomenal in every way. My son has loved his time there over the last three years. The teachers are top tier; the community of parents is incredibly supportive; the administration cares for students at the individual level. We are very pleased with the experience we have had at Fessenden. We highly recommend it.

This school is where boys are taught to be gentlemen, and to take their place in society. Some parents who...
