Make the Grade by Living Near New England's Private Schools

Students, parents, families, and alumni all benefit from living near private schools. It simplifies commutes and lets everyone enjoy the lovely communities of which these schools are a part. Students come from around the word to attend renowned prep schools like Phillips Andover and Groton, and to take advantage of top sports academies like Stratton and Okemo Mountain Schools.

For alumni and family of students, homes next to these schools are a great opportunity to get involved. Just pop next door for events like games, plays, concerts, and fairs.

One of Fenns feeder schools, the Nashoba Brooks School, got its start at 77 Wood Street. The updated Victorian was the site of the Brooks School starting in 1928.
