My son’s self confidence and academic motivation are soaring, along with his capacity to empathize with other people – all this in the context of an inspiring curriculum, steeped in our rich literary and historical heritage.

Plumfield is where I found my voice to express my thoughts freely and confidently

Micaela, Sophomore at Dean College

I wanted to drop a note to say that (our son) is doing very well at St. Johns Prep – academically he’s at the top of all the classes, and he seems to have made the shift to a very different system rapidly (he sits there and does homework for several hours every night). I’m kind of amazed. I think he misses the unique environment of Plumfield, but he’s doing fine – you all prepared him very well. Wishing you both a very merry Christmas!

Michael L., Former Plumfield parent

Plumfield is a hardworking place. We build projects for science, create displays for the Topsfield Fair, and build machines as a challenge to learn about physics.

Alec, 14

After we read a chapter, we usually write a narration. By writing it out on paper in our own words, we remember it and get a better understanding than if we only read it. Because I work for the satisfaction of success and learning, I do as much as I can.

Abbie, 12

When I first came to Plumfield, my least favorite subject was math. I was not good at it at all. I felt as though I was the only one who didn’t understand, but then I saw that other people also struggled with some parts of math. With practice, I am now at high speed in my math.

Aria, 10

Everyone has points to make, facts to tell, and questions to ask . . . if you are having a hard time, someone will help you. It’s inspiring to know that everyone cares about your education and wants to make it better.

Gunnar, 13

At Plumfield, students have time outside. We go sledding in the winter; in nice weather, we build forts. Because we have time outdoors, we’re not bored and are able to focus when it is time to study.

Quinn, 13

The Charlotte Mason method introduced me to great works of literature . . . through the process of writing narrations, I learned to be a great reader and built my confidence as a student.
