 | “When a boy matriculates at Fenn, he discovers a world that is designed for him. This world will challenge him to achieve more and support him as he matures. Fenn will set him on a new trajectory, one that will lead to success in high school, college, and life.”
Amy Jolly
Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

The Fenn School is all about boys in grades 4 through 9. The school builds on the enthusiasm and interests of boys to help them become fully formed learners. We know boys well, and guide them as they make the social and emotional transition from childhood to young adulthood.
When prospective families visit Fenn, they experience the incredible energy of boys engaged in a program that challenges them. Throughout the school day boys are gaining the knowledge and skills they’ll need in high school and beyond.
Fenn is a selective school, admitting boys from public, private, and parochial schools. We look for smart boys who have the potential to take advantage of our academic, athletic, and artistic offerings. Financial aid is provided.
I invite you to learn more about what Fenn can offer your son. Please email or call us at 978-369-5800 for a tour of the school.

| Personal Recommendations Prior to Jan. 31 Families applying for a position in grades 4, 5 and 6 are asked to submit a personal recommendation. This simple letter should be written by someone who knows your son well (e.g., coach, neighbor, etc.). Families applying for positions in grades 7 or above are not required to submit a personal recommendation, but may do so if they desire. |

| School Transcripts Prior to Jan. 31 Submit a Transcript Release Form to the administrative office at your son's current school. This form gives his current school authorization to send Fenn an official transcript. If an applicant attends a school that does not keep information about their students in transcript form, the applicant family should contact the Fenn School Admissions Office to make other arrangements. |
|
| Other Documentation Prior to Jan. 31 The goal of the admissions process is to gain an in-depth understanding of your son as a learner. The information gleaned from the process guides the Admissions Committee in selecting students who will be well served by Fenn's program. If there are other documents that will help the Admission Committee, such as other neuropsychological reports or the results of other educational testing, we encourage you to submit these for inclusion in your son's file. |
