“My son attends the Field school and is entering high school. The principal and staff are sensitive, intelligent individuals who bring the kind of personal attention that is hard to find in American secondary education.My son's teachers have been wonderful and they have created a love of other cultures, history, literature, politics and art in him. The best example of the special quality of a 'Field' education can be conveyed by the following: we were on a holiday trip to London where we spent time at the British museum. My son was telling me the cultual significance of certain art works from India and East Asia. A family from India was following us and listening to my son. The father approached me and said, 'he knows so much about this art, he must be educated in the UK'. I replied, proudly, 'no at the Field School in Washington, DC'.”
