The Fessenden School is a Pre-K to 9 all boys private school in Newton, Massachusetts. Often attended by pompous children of successful businessmen, Fessenden students think of public school students as uneducated idiots, while public school students think of Fessenden students merely as spenders of daddy’s money. Fessenden has a 40 acre campus, with academic, musical, and athletic facilities. It is important to note that while Fessenden claims to have a tremendous music program and has invested millions in a state of the art facility, they lack the talent to utilize those correctly. That is not to say there is no talent, however, those who have talent are often held back to make others feel better about their pompous selves. However, Fessenden is an overachiever in athletics, with several varsity teams that dominate in all New-England competitions, often defeating teams from high schools.
Fessenden has notable rivalries with the Fenn School, the Eaglebrook school, ad well as basically any other school with an athletic presence. Fenn is known as a copycat of Fessenden, with essentially a motto that can only be viewed as a lesser version of Fessenden’s.
It’s not surprising how because of Fessenden’s all boys status, their students are often unable to communicate with female counterparts.
