AT A GLANCE
WELCOME from the Head of School
Thank you for taking this first step to learn what
The Field School has to offer your child. On
behalf of our entire community, I welcome
you and your family and invite you to join
us in this transformative educational
experience.
To succeed in a complex, interconnected
global world, today's students need a robust
foundation in academic content along with critical
interdisciplinary skills. A Field education is a joyous and
meaningful approach to learning. Our curriculum develops the whole
student by preparing them to inquire and navigate the world using
curiosity, problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, and compassion.
We guide students on a path of self-discovery as they find their
formula for success.

Students enter our community as adolescents and leave Field
as young adults who are conÞdent and curious to continue their
life-long learning journey. Along the way, they develop passions,
make lasting connections, and give back to their neighborhoods and
international communities. Field graduates are scholars, researchers,
healthcare professionals, activists, artists, engineers, scientists,
poets, service leaders, actors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and leaders.
Choosing a school is an investment in today and tomorrow. To truly
understand the Field experience, I encourage you and your family to
visit our campus and get to know our talented faculty, our engaging
curriculum, and our inclusive community.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing the Field story.
