Deerfield Boys and Girls

For each Deerfield student, life beyond the classroom and lab is filled with opportunities for personal discovery and community involvement.

The chance to live with friends from all over the United States and the world, to captain a team or debate in an international competition, to act or sing or dance and applaud the performance of others, to learn from and receive the support of enthusiastic teachers and coaches, to experience the thrill and the pride of being a Deerfield girl or boy.

Regardless of a student’s background, schoolmates respect a competent musician, a quick mind, a hard-working swimmer, or a fluent linguist. Every student at Deerfield can have an experience shaped for and by his or her abilities and interests. What each experience shares is a commitment to the values—tolerance, honesty, decency—on which responsible citizenship is founded.
