School description

This promotion is specifically for our Fessenden Summer English Explorers.

Fessenden SEE is a unique English immersion program for boys and girls ages 9-15 years old from all around the world. Students are involved in a balance of academics, enrichment, innovation, recreation, and travel.

Students work with others from all around the world, make new life-long friendships, and learn to problem solve within a diverse learning community.

Academic courses are only during weekday mornings, and are used to strengthen reading, writing, listening and speaking abilities.

Our enrichment program ties in our language skills in real-life problem solving in innovation, video production, and team building. In addition, we also learn about how to tackle real-world issues based on the perspectives from all around the world.

We have a beautiful campus with amazing amenities and plenty to do for everyone!

An amazing part of our program is the travel component. Students explore Boston for two weekends, go camping for a long weekend in New Hampshire, and have a big city experience in New York City.

Please inquire for more specific rates, but our full-time boarding program is $8175 USD (not including spending money, recommended amount is $300-$400).
