Everyone here is excited to welcome you into the Fayerweather community, a place where intellectual curiosity and the thrill of discovery go hand in hand with an educational environment that sees the innate capacity for growth and learning in each child.
At Fayerweather, students don’t just learn facts – they develop a rigorous framework for asking deep questions and the confidence to seek out answers. Because we value each child’s story, skills, and potential, our students continually push themselves – and us – to surprising new heights.

Unit Play: The Giver
The Unit Play has been a Fayerweather tradition for over 30 years and we are thrilled to keep it going!
This year, we will be performing The Giver, a play by Eric Coble based on the book by Lois Lowry, and using creative methods of puppeteering to do so. Unfamiliar with the plot? Here's a synopsis:
Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control and safe. There is no war or fear or pain. There are also no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. But when Jonas turns 12, he is chosen for special training from The Giver—to receive and keep the memories of the community. The Giver is the only person who holds the memories of real pain and real joy. Now Jonas will learn the truth about life—and the hypocrisy of his utopian world. Through this adaptation, discover what it means to grow up, to grow wise, and to take control of your own destiny.
Join us to see our exciting 5-minute scenic set-up and breakdown, our 40-minute performance, and a talkback session at Fayerweather with the cast & crew. -
