Welcome to the Fayerweather Street School! As you read about our programs, visit classrooms, and talk with current parents, you will experience first hand some of the qualities that distinguish Fayerweather. There is a sense of excitement and joy in learning, a profound respect for each child’s thoughts and work that permeates all of the classrooms and interactions. Fayerweather’s founding parents envisioned a school that would seek out innovative, effective ways of educating children, ways that respect each child’s thinking while also valuing the role that families and communities play in their education. This founding vision continues as each generation of teachers, parents, and students brings creativity to the task of interpreting and shaping the school in its present context.
