We have had an absolutely amazing experience at the Fenn so far. Our son, who just joined the 5th grade, is about three months in so far and is having the time of his life. Coming from a public school, the environment couldn't be more different; he is constantly challenged, both in terms of the freedom given to him to organize his own day and show up to places on time and also academically, where (for someone who always excelled in his public schools) he is being challenged for the first time. Our entire experience - from the first contact with the admissions team to our last event at the school - has been more than we could have hoped, and we're so excited about the future at Fenn!

Fenn is EXCEPTIONAL! Academic rigor, high caliber teachers, small class sizes, beautiful campus, coupled with integrity and values. The teachers understand what teaching methods work for boys and how to tap into their natural curiosity. Hands-on learning approach is the key. With Fenn’s small class sizes, my son received a lot of one-on-one attention, which has helped him to excel academically. His self-confidence has blossomed since he’s been at Fenn and he feels so good about himself. Fenn has turned my son into a kid who loves to learn and didn’t want school to end for the summer (never thought I’d see that!). He just loves being at Fenn. I love him being there too, not only because of the high quality education, but because he’s surrounded by headmasters and teachers who model integrity, compassion and ethical values. They’ve taught my son how to be a responsible member of the Fenn community and how to genuinely care about his classmates. I never thought I would say that my son "loves" school, but he does, thanks to Fenn.
