After more than 100 years, these three values could ring hollow, but they are solid at Fessenden and continue to be our guiding principles. From the Headmaster down, boys are taught, guided and supported by a community united by these common and timeless values. Boys may lose their way at times, but with the consistent guidance and example that adults provide in their academic, social and emotional lives at Fessenden, they find their path and grow stronger from the journey. Fessenden aims to develop well-rounded citizens. Academics are valued, of course, but many boys find that in addition to academics they learned important life lessons during their time at Fessenden.
