Who We Are

Fay School's 66-acre campus is located in Southborough, MA, just 25 miles west of Boston. Our community includes day students in Kindergarten through grade nine and boarding students in grades seven through nine.

The Foundation for a Meaningful Life

Fay's broad and challenging program empowers students to discover their talents, develop their intellectual abilities, establish essential academic skills and knowledge, and define their moral character - all essential to living a life of meaning and making a positive difference in the world.

A School Where Every Student is Known

What makes Fay such a unique place to grow and learn? Partly, it’s our small class sizes, but mostly it’s because our students thrive in our connected community—a web of supportive and expert teachers who develop a deep understanding of each student’s needs.

A Community of Engaged, Curious Learners

Fay students love to learn. They embrace intellectual risks and see no limits to what they can achieve, and they find joy in striving to be their best selves. Creative problem solving is at the core of our students' academic experience, and they all participate in our signature Creativity and Design program.

Where Excellence is a Habit

Fay students are high achievers. Our graduates are coveted by top secondary schools and go on to meaningful college experiences and rewarding careers. But most importantly, Fay students learn that excellence is the process, not the product.
