I have had the opportunity to attend Field for the past seven years, and now, I am just a few weeks from graduating. I feel so lucky to have been a part of an educational community that allowed me space to learn, grow, and explore my interests. The school felt appropriately rigorous and challenging, and my teachers were always willing to help me individually, which in turn improved my self-advocacy skills. Despite having dyslexia, the school and all of my teachers went out of their way to help me with accommodations so that ... read more
People at The Field School are some of the nicest, most generous, and kind humans we have ever met. Field wants kids from all backgrounds (regardless of race, religion, gender, personal preferences et al) to feel welcome on campus. Their response to the pandemic was world class and we thank them for leading from the front! The administration could not have handled it any better than they did. I hope they all received raises after that. We've seen many changes in our six years and 90% have been super positive. The Field Schoo... read more
The Field School sees my child for who he is. They encourage and challenge him. I am so happy with the opportunities he has been given to grow in class and outside of class. He has gained so much confidence since he started at Field in 7th grade. He feels safe and secure. The campus is beautiful. The faculty is top notch - so inspiring, dedicated, and supportive. The curriculum and approach to teaching is so thoughtful, challenging, and really prepares him for college and beyond. He has opportunities to play team sports that... read more
As Field parents, we love watching our daughter grow, stretch and become and an even better version of herself. In addition to the "basics" of a middle & high school education, Field stretches into experiential learning to teach in the moment and to the moment. This past fall Field held an "election teach in" during which, over a two-day period, all the classes focused on understand the Electoral College, the voting process, the history of voting, and other big-picture concepts related to the election. Field recognized the i... read more
Hello, it is an honor to share my experience as a Field parent… Saying that we love the school would be an understatement. The way the school is organized and run, you will never feel “new” for more than a day. My son joined the school in 7th grade, I was skeptical on how well he would adjust. After just 2 weeks he said, “mom, I feel like I’ve been at the school for a long time.” The teachers are top notch in their field, students get an adequate amount of homework. The administrators respond promptly to any inquiries. A wid... read more
Finding a school that is the right fit for your child is hard. And yet Field has proven a remarkable home for both of our middle-school aged children. Field takes an expansive, thoughtful and flexible approach to teaching, coaching and guiding its students. We have been incredibly impressed by Field's administrators and faculty, and how they actively enable growth through creative engagement with students as individuals. Since they began their Field journey, we have seen our daughters grow in their academic skills and knowle... read more
Our son is in his second year at Field school. He began in 9th grade, and we have continued to be impressed by the supportive, yet rigorous, academics. His excitement about the classroom material is astonishing and the depth of the subjects he is covering is impressive. He has always struggled with reading comprehension and writing, and and Field has not only pushed him but provided him the tools and understanding that he needs to be able to express himself on paper. He has developed a passion for science and excelled in mat... read more
My child has flourished at Field in both Middle School and Upper School, and I could not be happier with the school. I credit Field for my child’s love of learning, fostered by teaching that allows for creativity and exploration within the context of high academic standards. Field has a refreshing “can do” feel about it, with ample entry points for trying different types of activities and sports, alongside opportunities for participation at high skill levels. As a parent, I have found everyone working at Field to be responsi... read more
We have two children at Field and consider our entire family as part of the community. The school provides a rigorous academic program individualized to each student while also emphasizing social and emotional wellness.

Field’s incredible ability to weave service learning programs into their interdisciplinary curriculum fosters growth beyond the classroom. Our children are held to achievable high standar... read more
