Who We Are

Deerfield is a vibrant, diverse community of students, faculty, staff, and families who live and work at a school where the values, courtesy, and work ethic of New England guide school life.

The Academy’s 600+ students live and learn in an atmosphere of warmth and support. The spirit of mutual respect and caring, which pervades virtually every activity at Deerfield, is to a great degree derived from the friendships among students and with mentors on the faculty and staff—in the classrooms, service programs, dormitories, and Dining Hall, and on the playing fields. It is the tradition of this spirit that Deerfield feels is worth preserving and that is treasured by the 10,000 alumni of Deerfield Academy.
