Fayerweather Street School

Admission

Every school has a certain feel and culture that is in the air; something often difficult to put into words. Visitors to Fayerweather often comment on how energetic it feels. Colorful artwork and interesting projects cover the walls and children are joyfully engaged in learning. We hope our website inspires you to come see for yourself what makes us truly unique.

About

Founded in 1967, Fayerweather is a co-educational independent private school enrolling approximately 200 students in PreKindergarten through eighth grade. We are a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and we are accredited by the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE).

Academics

As students progress through the grades, their creativity is used to build problem-solving skills and resourcefulness. Our students learn to conduct research, consider multiple perspectives and articulate their ideas. In doing so, they not only master important academic skills, but also learn to apply them to a variety of situations, building flexibility and mastery simultaneously.

Support

Community participation is a cornerstone of our school community. Active volunteerism and financial support, through the Annual Fund and other initiatives, are crucial to Fayerweather’s success. We cannot emphasize enough how important community participation is to our school, nor how much we value everyone’s contributions.
