Day Students at Church Farm School
Exceptional college-prep curriculum. Extraordinary brotherhood.
High school is a significant chapter in a young man’s life.
As a parent, you want to find a school with a reputation for preparing boys to confidently take those next steps.
You may have run into some challenges along the way. You might feel your son is getting lost at a larger public school. You’re worried he isn’t getting the attention he needs to be successful. You want your son to be surrounded by other motivated boys who will support and encourage him to achieve more than he could imagine.
It’s also important that he has opportunities outside the classroom. High school is an important time when your son develops new interests and skills. You want him to be involved in activities that will help him refine those skills — whether it’s athletics, the arts or community service.
