Secondary School Placement

Cambridge Friends School, a Pre-K through Grade 8 elementary and middle school in north Cambridge, MA, prepares our students for entry into the best high schools in the region and beyond. Our students leave CFS incredibly well prepared for the academic and personal challenges of high school, where they distinguish themselves as students and people of character.

 

Beginning in the spring of seventh grade, parents receive ongoing guidance from the Secondary School Placement team, consisting of administrators, advisors, and classroom teachers. Eighth-graders undergo “mock interviews” so that by the time they attend admission interviews, they can engage in a mature and thoughtful way. Because our class sizes are small and Middle School teachers often “loop” with their students to teach them for consecutive years, our teachers deeply know each individual student, and that knowledge is reflected in their recommendation letters. For these reasons, Cambridge Friends School has an excellent reputation and acceptance rate at the top area high schools.
