Does Field provide executive functioning support in middle school?

They definitely make an effort but have nearly no endowment, so they cannot be as generous as other schools.

My DD is accepting a spot here for 9th. She applied on almost a lark because some friends of hers also applied, but it's approach to academics, facilities, and college results were very attractive to us. Her friends are accepting elsewhere but I'm also surprised Field doesn't get more discussion on this forum.

They have a small admissions team due to the school size and they have been slammed! I would email them to reiterate your interest.

In case you haven't seen it, here are some of the upcoming enhancements that we're all excited about:
https://www.fieldschool.org/support-us/think-bold-be-inspired


The facility upgrades look amazing. Do you happen to know when they will be: (1) kicked off; and (2) completed?


The last two summers had awesome redesigns of existing buildings. The classrooms and science labs are amazing. More redesigns to come this summer, including athletics and dance facilities, with the new innovation and arts center completed in 18 months.


Does the construction impact that student experience? How is it while classes are in session. The facility upgrades seem amazing.


Between the administration, the architects and the construction company, there are a lot of professionals working to insulate the students from the construction. For example, major upgrades to existing buildings are done in the summers, so no impact. It’s also a pretty big campus, and the new building is going on vacant land. So school will not be interrupted and the impact should be minimal across three semesters.

Kicked off over the summer, not sure when they'll be complete.

My DC will be accepting (99% sure, but wants to finish out accepted student events first) but we know some others that are declining. I imagine the waitlist will move a bit, but it's a small school so definitely let them know they're your first choice.

I would stay on the radar. If it’s your first choice and you would enroll if offered a spot, email and let them know. Good luck!

What grade? More likely for movement in 9th b/c the class size doubles. Some acceptances will surely decline.

Our kid is there and loves it. Great environment, engaged teachers and the new build out is going to be really nice.

Usually movement? Honestly this was our safety school at first but we actually turned out to like it more after touring and shadowing. Surprised to be waitlisted.

Not much talk on the board about it. Do we need to donate a library to be taken seriously?
