About Fay School

Fay School was founded in 1866 and was the first junior boarding school in the United States. Located 25 miles from Boston, Fay is a traditional, yet innovative, independent school that teaches enduring skills for a changing world. Through small classes and individual attention, our challenging and supportive learning environment provides exceptional preparation for secondary school.

Our well-rounded program establishes a solid foundation in reading, writing, critical thinking, public speaking, quantitative analysis, and problem solving. A highlight of our program is our creativity and design curriculum, where students engage in real-world design projects in partnership with companies like Converse, Bose, and Barnes and Noble.

Fay provides a comprehensive educational experience—academics, athletics, the arts, and character education—in a multicultural setting that includes students from across the United States and over countries. Students live and learn together in a community that embraces the School’s core values of Academic Excellence, Earnest Effort, Honorable Conduct, Dedicated Service, and Wellness of Mind, Body, and Spirit.
