“Field school is a boy's middle school founded in 2007 by todd barnett with the support of many parents, friends, and community leaders. Its mission is to develop well-rounded boys of character and accomplishment. Its motto is "omnis puer scitus et frater" "every boy known, every boy a brother." field school is guided by its mission and incorporates it into all aspects of school life.”

“Field school has two primary strengths, our program and our facility. Our program is designed to meet the needs of middle school boys who are often underserved in school settings. Our facility members are a skilled and accomplished team of teachers and coaches who embrace the field school mission and engage in the education of the whole child through involvement with the whole child - the academic, social, physical, creative, ethical, and personal development of each boy. Our program revolves around academically challenging core classes in math, english, latin or spanish, science, and history. Art & music classes each meet twice per week, and there is a daily study hall and team sports or outdoor activities. The success of our program is measured in the short-term by the successes of our graduates as they move into area high school academies or regular high schools or independent schools, but in the longer-term by the life- lessons and friendships developed at the field school and seen in the activities of our alumni and through ongoing support of their families.”
