My 8th grader is in his second year at Field School and we couldn't be happier with the education he's receiving, the wonderful community and overall experience. I believe that this progressive school model is the future of education and that all traditional schools will eventually follow suit. There is no substitute for a hands on, project based education where children are inspired to think individually, create and innovate. As a parent I pinch myself each time I visit the school, attend an event, or speak with his teacher... read more
Field has been a gift for our two children, one who has graduated and one who currently attends. Our graduate is in college and credits his current academic success to his time at Field. He learned to enjoy writing, which he does a lot of in college, and for years he resisted math and anything math related, until Field. His teachers gave him room to approach the subject from a different point of entry and rethink concepts. Our children are very different learners, one neurotypical and one neurodiverse, and Field has worked f... read more
During their time at Field my daughters have not only learned the traditional academics (math, history etc) but also critical thinking, problem solving and “real world “ applications/experiences — something that seems to be missing from other school’s curriculum. The teachers are extremely supportive of each student’s individual learning style and have a way of getting students to look deeper into a subject so as to not just memorize facts, but understand the concepts and/or impact/consequences something may have on them or ... read more
This school is amazing. The community is unlike anything I have ever seen. The students are truly what makes this school great for me. The administration however is a whole other thing. The administration recently got changed and the new administration has not been received well so far by the students. It's a great school for anyone out of the ordinary. As a queer person myself I can say: It has a strong LGBTQ population and the school environment is comfortable to be visibly queer in (besides the occasional middle schooler ... read more
I wish we had come to The Field School sooner. Our daughter started at Field in the 10th grade (a non traditional year to start high school) and she was welcomed and encouraged to be an engaged part of the community from the moment she was admitted. As parents we love Field because of the approach to teaching - students have a variety of ways that they can learn from their teachers and peers - the curriculum is engaging and the teachers know the students well and they work closely with the students. It's a place that brings ... read more
My daughter had an amazing experience at The Field School. She started in 7th grade after attending a very strict, traditional school 4th-6th. She really thrived at Field where they focused on her strengths and she was able to thrive and grow into a campus leader.
The Field School has been a wonderful school, not only for our son but for our family. When we first arrived at Field we were struck by how welcoming the community was. As a family, this was important to us. Our son started at Field in 7th grade and recently graduated. During his time at Field, I feel like our son found his voice. He wasn’t ever a quiet kid, but he had leadership skills that he hadn’t discovered yet. The environment at Field, was one that provided our son that opportunity to discover his leadership abilities... read more
Today, I attended the school art show called Studio Day. Field has a requirement that all students take art. The ceramics, digital art, paintings and sculptures were all outstanding. Teachers, students, parents, grandparents all mixed together in a joyful atmosphere. There was both a potluck and a food truck. Some folks did screen printing while others tried their hand at the pottery wheel. Studio Day represents the best of Field: creative, innovative, interested in embracing the full student, kind, fun and challenging.
Great School! Our experience at Field has been exceptional. The teachers are truly invested in my daughter's education and her growth as learner. Small class size enabled my daughter to gain confidence in her learning ability.
The Field School has a 4.6 star rating with 93 reviews.
The Field School is closed now. It will open on Monday at 9:00 a.m.
