Student Life at Fieldston

In keeping with our mission to promote ethical citizenship, and to encourage students to become leaders and activists, Fieldston has a vibrant and extensive student life program.

This includes: 

• Over 50 student-run clubs
• A full slate of regular assemblies that focus on a variety of topics and are organized almost exculsively by students
• A number of student publications
• Modified Awareness Days (MADs) and Fieldston Awareness Days (FADs), which are special days that allow the community to closely examine issues of local, national or global importance
• Support for students who engage in social and political activism
• An annual summer book that is read by the entire Upper School and is followed by a MAD.
• A summer jobs program run in concert with the P&T.
• An active student government that comprises both the Principals Advisory Committee (PAC) and the Student-Faculty Senate (SFS).
• Allternative Learning Period (ALP), which is a two-day experiential learning program that takes place once every two years and features workshops and classes run by students, faculty, parents and alumni.
• Senior projects, which are self-directed, independent projects that seniors are given the opportunity to participate in during their second semester of senior year.
• Semester programs, such as the Mountain School and Maine Coast Semester, which are open to juniors.
