We hope this report gives you a better picture of what students are experiencing and accomplishing in our school. If you have specific questions about your child's performance or this report, please contact the school. Fenway High School's mission is to create a socially committed and morally responsible community of learners which values its students as individuals. Fenway's goal is to encourage academic excellence and habits of mind, self-esteem, and leadership development among all the school's students. Classes vary in length from 70 minutes to 2.5 hours.
Some classes meet for the full double period on one day and then for a single period on another.
Students take the major subjects of humanities, math, science, and Advisory as well as minors such as world languages, study skills, or Ventures. They often work in small groups on collaborative projects as well as on individual assignments. The close relationship between the faculty and students yields a spirited classroom environment with students participating in discussions and special projects. Help is available in the Learning Center both during and after school. Often there is an all-school assembly with topics ranging from guest speakers and performers to town meeting type forums to discuss topics important to general life at the school.
