Haggerty School

My son has been at Banneker for 3 years now and they never cease to amaze me! They are absolutely wonderful!!

I saw a kid running around with no shoes or shirt on absolutely ridiculous

Atrium is a gem. The faculty are exceptional. They truly care about the students. The community is nurturing, academically challenging, and value-driven. Our family couldn't be happier with our experience with the school and its head.

This schools special education and language support programs are terrible. Teachers have no control over classes and the administration is a mess. The school move has made this school broke and they are laying off experienced teachers and keeping the cheap, inexperienced ones while combining classes for bigger class sizes. Do not send your kid here.

Our family had an incredibly positive experience at Cambridge Friends School, and we are deeply grateful for the foundation it provided our child. The school’s commitment to academic excellence and its core Quaker values—Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship—created an environment where our child thrived both academically and personally.The emphasis on Integrity and Equality fostered a deep sense of respect and responsibility in our child, while the focus on Community ensured that they always felt supported and valued. The school's dedication to Peace encouraged thoughtful problem-solving and strong interpersonal skills, which have been invaluable throughout their educational journey. Additionally, the principles of Simplicity and Stewardship helped nurture a thoughtful and mindful approach to learning and personal growth.Thanks to the strong academic and ethical foundation built at CFS, our child not only excelled in high school but was also accepted into their first-choice college. The critical thinking skills, confidence, and lifelong love of learning cultivated at CFS played a crucial role in this success.We wholeheartedly recommend Cambridge Friends School to any family seeking an education rooted in strong values, academic rigor, and a true sense of purpose. CFS is a remarkable community that nurtures and inspires students to reach their full potential while making a meaningful impact on the world around them.

Fayerweather has been an engaging, exciting, challenging experience for our kids, giving them a strong sense of ownership and agency over their own educations. We see in them the self-awareness to work effectively in teams and connect with others (even or especially those that don't think or identify as they do!) - and that's a direct result of the focus on social and emotional development in the classroom and more broadly in the school. They're curious to root out patterns and systems that impact our world and the people in it, because they've been exposed to Fayerweather's rich curriculum and the critical thinking lens the teachers apply to it.Now situated in a competitive and academically challenging high school, our older child is academically ambitious, eager to partner with peers and teachers, and comfortable in their own skin. Our younger child is making the most of their last years at Fayerweather, finding voice and collaboration through creative ventures like the Unit Play, and digging into complex curricula like Shakespeare's Macbeth, Orwell's Animal Farm, and an interdisciplinary study of the history and science of regional cuisines. We're grateful we chose Fayerweather and are excited to see where this learning foundation takes our kids next!
