The Field School offers the best of education - small class sizes with teachers who love teaching and provide children with thought provoking topics of study. Rather than just teaching students particular subject matter (they do that too), Field teaches students how to learn, how to analyze data, how to problem solve and how to think critically. Field prepares students for college and beyond. Students get hands-on experiences with a 2 week internship each year teaching them to seek out experiences that interest them and offe... read more
The Field School is inspiring. We have two children at Field and are passionate about it. Field students are the ones with the confidence to ask questions, advocate for their learning and social needs, collaborate and have empathy in their engagement with the world and others. Field’s philosophy of “self-discovery, skills of mind and generosity of heart” is real. Our children eagerly engage with teachers who are always responsive to guide and challenge them, whether in the small classes (which are exceptional) or one-on-one.... read more
My child is about to graduate from the Field School after starting in middle school, and it has been everything that we hoped for and more – an excellent education in a warm and caring atmosphere, without the pressure-cooker environment found in other schools. Field’s emphasis on teacher-student relationships is not something that it simply pays lip service to; it really is the heart of a Field education. After every parent-teacher conference, my husband (who is not easily impressed) would say to me, “Wow, they really unders... read more
The Field School's environment is like no other school's. Everyone, whether they are a student, teacher, or faculty member, knows one another. It's a very close-knit community which is something I love very much about this school. I got to meet so many interesting and diverse people which made my experience at The Field School something that I'll never forget.
Field’s unique classes gives students a lot of opportunity to shine academically and get into great colleges. However, because of the schools small size there are many cliques who only associate among themselves. It is a great progressive school but there is little to no socioeconomic and political diversity among students.
The Field School is an amazing college preparatory school, and I have spent 7 years there. Being a senior it has set me up for college very well. The support in the college process is unmatched, and I'm very grateful. I've made amazing friends and developed many close relationships with teachers that I believe would extend long after my graduation. The teacher support is unchallenged and teachers truly care for the well being of their students. However, since it is a small private school we do not see a lot of diversity. I b... read more
My experience at the Field School so far has been a great one. The community is nurturing, the students are friendly, and the teachers do a great job. It is a great school environment to be in, especially at a middle school level.
Field is an amazing school! The teachers are so supportive and understanding of your individual situations and work closely with you in order to improve yourself. I spent 7 years here and of course there is room to improve the school but I could not imagine going anywhere other than Field.
Field is a great place that allows a variety of different people to get what they want out of the school. It is a different approach than a lot of traditional wealthy metropolitan schools, but in my opinion, it is an approach that leaves less people behind. The curriculum Field offers is one that from what I have seen is unmatched, it allows you to learn at your own pace and take what you want from the school, and is overall an amazing place. The teachers are extremely intelligent and passionate. The students are much kinder... read more
