This is your time to explore—and at Deerfield, you can study virtually every aspect of human endeavor. You'll push yourself to try new things, and never be afraid to speak up.
Coming in Fall 2027: The convergence of two important Deerfield priorities: Residential Life and Financial Aid.
When our new West Campus Dorm opens in the fall of 2027, its 38 student rooms will allow us to expand our boarding population and welcome local students into the residential life of the school, and from that time forward, Deerfield will be a fully-boarding school. We are excited that the friendships, joy, and spontaneity that surface in Deerfield’s dorms will become shared experiences for all students.
As local children are enfolded into campus life as boarders, we will also move to a single tuition rate that is truly comprehensive with no additional fees or hidden costs. Our Financial Aid Initiative will allow us to support the needs of local students and families in this transition to full boarding, and the Initiative will ensure that expected family contributions are met and that cost does not prevent any local student from accessing this newly-expanded Deerfield experience.
As always, Deerfield remains steadfastly invested in our mission and our core values. A fully-boarding Deerfield is a natural next step in fulfilling that mission, and we’re delighted to offer the experience to all students!
