The Field School does such a great job of creating community. Whether in the classroom, through a sport, or in a student-led elective, the administrators, teachers, and staff get to know each student so well. As a result, the school has an environment/culture that meets each student where they are. My daughter has been able to explore so many new ideas and concepts that she might not have considered otherwise had she not felt comfortable enough or encouraged to do so. If you're seeking rigorous academics, it's here. If you w... read more
Our son came to Field School as a freshman. He loved the school! During these last 4 years, we saw him flourish in many ways. Field School offered him rigorous classes, opportunity to participate in the club activities he liked and where he naturally developed his talents, a healthy environment to make great friends and fantastic teachers that inspired him to find his passions. Taking our son to Field School was the best decision we could have made.
My two children (one in middle school and one in high school) started at Field this past year and it has been a wonderful experience for them and our whole family. Both my children came out of school on the first day and said they could not believe how welcoming both the teachers and students were. They adore their teachers and the curriculum has met them both very well and overall I would describe the climate as warm and supportive. They are learning to advocate for themselves and are encouraged to do so by their teachers. ... read more
My son is a Senior at Field and he started as a 9th grader during Covid. It was a difficult time to start at a new school but Field did a great job and he managed to make friends and have a decent 9th grade year. 10th--12th grade have been normal (no zoom school!) and he has had a great experience. The teachers are terrific, and this is a wonderful school if your child is creative, or a kid who wants to play sports but might be cut from teams at a school with more competitive sports. The school pays great attention to social... read more
The Field School is a hidden gem. The community is committed to ensuring the school thrives and this starts at the top with the Trustees, HOS and Administrative Leaders. While there are plans for short and long term goals and strategies, the school is on top of things and adapts and flexes to address internal and external challenges as needed. The faculty are an extension of the school's mission and have a strong vision for teaching and learning. They are experienced, compassionate, empathetic and committed to seeing student... read more
My son started Field in 6th grade and he’s now a senior, and I can’t say enough about how grateful we are for this school. I have watched my son grow into this confident, curious young man who cares about his community and the world. I credit Field for a lot of that. At Field, kids learn how to learn. They learn how to advocate for themselves, ask questions, and make sure they fully understand the subjects they’re studying. The thought and care that goes into crafting their inquiry and project-based curriculum is amazing. Th... read more
My daughter moved from a highly competitive DC private school to the Field School in 6th grade and she is now in 9th grade. The change has been the best move we have ever made for her. In fact, she regularly thanks us for “giving her Field.” The welcoming community, excellent head of school, dedicated and energetic faculty, creativity of experiential learning have reignited her joy of learning and she literally looks forward to returning to school every morning. The Field School offers an excellent education while allowing s... read more
Because we have moved around for work a bit, we have had exposure to many private schools. Field is a different, better model for education. Field has been able to bring the love of learning to our child, rather than focusing on achieving for achievement sake. Our child is as happy as we have ever seen her, and she is excited and energized to learn in school. Field focuses on the individual child and his/her learning style and teaches to that. As a result, our child feels understood, enjoys the process of education, and is e... read more
The Field School has been an excellent fit for our daughter. The combination of small class room size and truly caring teachers who approach material in engaging ways has made high school a very positive learning experience. We also appreciate that while the school is academically rigorous, it is not excessively homework heavy so that students have time to pursue sports and other extracurricular activities. There is a genuine sense of community at the school. Students are very supportive of each other -- whether that is root... read more
