Our People
A community in practice.
Fayerweather is a small school by design. The people here know your child's name, their questions, and their hesitations because they're more than just school employees. Many of our staff have been part of this community for a decade or more, including as parents and alums.

Founded in 1967, Fayerweather is an all-gender independent private school enrolling students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade and located in Cambridge, MA. Children here are taken seriously — as thinkers, as individuals, as people whose presence in the world already matters. They learn by doing real things, in real places, for real audiences. They become themselves, in community, over time.
