Deep Learning and Powerful Outcomes
The Field School has always believed that students learn best through
experience when their learning is authentic, meaningful, and connected to
the world around them. Accordingly, the goal is to inspire curiosity, expand
perspective, discover more about yourself, affect change, and create an
impact in the world. By doing intentionally-structured work that’s relevant
to students and the world, students learn to be bold, empathetic, and
purposeful.
We equip students to thrive in whatever future they imagine for themselves
and the world. For that reason, we believe that transfer—the application of
one skill to a new situation, area of study, or problem—is the most powerful
outcome of learning.
We seek to develop core knowledge within each discipline, as well as key skills
that are relevant across disciplines. We believe this happens when students
are challenged to drive their own learning journey within a holistic program.
Field’s Middle School program is built on the belief in our students' inherent
sense of wonder and curiosity and is grounded in our understanding of the
joys, struggles, needs, and emerging talents of young people during this
crucial stage of their development.
Field’s Upper School promotes intellectual curiosity and discovery, depth of
learning, and building connections in a strong community. Purposefully
guided through active exploration and inquiry by our faculty, students
thoughtfully seek and solve problems and reflect on their learning.
