HOW DOES AN INSTITUTION ROOTED IN MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF HISTORY CELEBRATE ITS LEGACY AND NEVER STOP MOVING FORWARD?
G R O W AT T H E INTERSECTION OF OLD
AND NEW
Learning doesn’t always come from getting the best grade or scoring the winning goal. It’s about what you gain by being tested, being doubted, or even failing at times. Deerfield is a community of thinkers who collaborate, experiment, and explore remarkable ideas that have the power to change the world. In the pages that follow, seize the opportunity to go off the beaten path, challenge conventional thinking, and start something great. 3
At Deerfield, learning happens anywhere you and ideas INTERSECT. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY + ART 4
THE QUEST TO LEARN
Deerfield promotes a broad, modern curriculum that sparks collaboration, curiosity, and creativity. During your time here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a wide spectrum of topics. AND IF YOU’RE LIKE MANY STUDENTS, YOU’LL SOON DISCOVER TALENTS AND INTERESTS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU HAD.
You’ll also find yourself connecting the dots between classes. You might see how a particular piece of literature you studied in Voices and Visions of Justice impacted the concepts you learned about in Big History. Or perhaps you’ll realize how the logic of computer science helps you decode Arabic. Or maybe Film Studies will inspire you to take Studio Production. The possibilities are great!

NEVER GETS OLD

“ Learning happens best in a community that reflects the diversity of this nation and the world.” DR. JOHN P.N. AUSTIN HEAD OF SCHOOL

THE DOOR
The door of John Williams House is the symbol of the Academy (and a frequent background for selfies). This wonder of architectural design represents our heritage and tradition.
8
“BE WORTHY OF YOUR HERITAGE” Our motto carries extraordinary significance for students and alumni alike: “Be Worthy of Your Heritage.” It demonstrates that we honor our past, even as it commands us to carry our core values into the future. When you take your place at Deerfield, you take on the responsibility to shape your own legacy and to establish what an education means to you. Whether it’s your pursuit of deeper intellectual understanding, your service to the community, or your commitment to addressing the world’s most pressing problems, your actions define your character and your heritage—and in the process, you define Deerfield as well.

D E S T I N AT I O N S +INTERSECTIONS
THE MAIN SCHOOL BUILDING
Home to Admission, history classes, class deans, and traditions such as “Friday Cookies and Cocoa,” the Main School Building is where most students start their Deerfield journey.
A L B A N Y R OA D
Albany Road takes you to class, to the playing fields, to the Dining Hall, and to your dorm. You’ll traverse this thoroughfare a thousand times, crossing paths with friends and faculty. Our community is “device-free” when walking campus, so you’re sure to encounter friendly faces.
13
TH E LOWE R LE VE L
With more than 90 acres of athletics fields, the Lower Level is where athletes turn it up on game day. Students, family, friends, and faculty gather to cheer on their favorite teams— “bleeding green” with Deerfield pride.
THE GREER
Where else can you meet up with friends to grab a fro-yo and fries? The Greer Store is where students regularly hang out and relax during free periods, after classes, and on weekends.
14
THE HESS CENTER
From the start of classes until curfew, the Hess Center’s art studios, photo labs, practice rooms, and performance spaces are alive with activity. Visiting artists connect with students and faculty—sharing their mastery of the arts and their passion for the work.
THE SMALL LOOP
Ideal for quiet contemplation or some fresh air with friends, the Small Loop is a two-mile, unpaved farm road that leads you past fields, barns, and the Deerfield River before connecting back to campus. Even if you set out alone, chances are you’ll bump into someone you know.
T H E KO C H C E N T E R
The Koch Center is the nexus of science, math, and technology at Deerfield. Designed to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, it houses extensive labs, workshops, classrooms—and even a planetarium!
15
TH E B OY D E N LI B R A RY
This research hub offers spaces for independent and group study. The Boyden Library is home to Academic Affairs, an innovation laboratory, the Center for Service and Global Citizenship, and College Advising. (And yes, you’ll still find more than 50,000 books!)
16
THE COMMON ROOM
Daily life intersects in dormitory common rooms. Enjoy an evening snack, play ping-pong, make weekend plans, or just hang out. You’ll form tight bonds with students from different backgrounds and cultures—and you’ll get to know the faculty members who live with you, too.
17
THE ROCK
Finding your way to the top of the Rock is a Deerfield rite of passage. On a clear day, the view extends to New York and Vermont. And part of the experience is how you get there: straight up, on a jeep road, or via a network of trails.
THE DINING HALL
It’s a Deerfield tradition: Students and faculty gather in the Dining Hall for family-style meals. On the menu: grass-fed beef, local produce, vegetarian fare, and lively conversations that continue long after the table has been cleared.

SEARCH FOR THE ANSWERS
Deerfield’s capstone courses and upper-level seminars provide the opportunity for students to examine questions of local or global significance. A capstone often involves a multipronged approach to interdisciplinary study, connecting subjects across the entire academic foundation. No matter the query or project, the goal is the same: to help you reach a higher level of critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis.

TAKE THE UNEXPECTED COURSE Go beyond the core curriculum and explore a subject that’s off the beaten path. Deerfield offers extraordinary courses in STEM, humanities, and the arts—all designed to open your mind and help you dig deeper into a topic. For instance, try your hand at an examination of Political Philosophy, Data Structures and Algorithms, or Intro to Urban Design.

BETTER THAN THE COMFORT ZONE Caitlin Sugita admits that she is just about the last person you’d expect to eat a bug, but when she had to choose a topic she was passionate about for her Research in Sustainability seminar, Caitlin chose entomophagy: the eating of insects. Much like a master’s thesis, this seminar encourages independent research and interdisciplinary acuity.

MEET MAE DE E RFIE LD. E DU/ADMISSION
Mae Emerson has had a lot of opportunities at Deerfield: from being a part of the Advanced Dance Ensemble to playing varsity soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse. She’s also been able to try a lot of new things, such as building an electric bike with her Physics II Electric Vehicle Engineering class partner, Connor Finemore. It all starts with research...
23
THE PATH OF MOST PERSISTENCE It’s so annoying: Machines don’t always seem to do what we ask of them. When Mae and Connor joined forces to build an electric bike to help with recycling work on campus, the project was riddled with episodes of failure—including a stubborn bicycle chain that just wouldn’t cooperate! But in the end, this pair of analytical thinkers mastered the communication, collaboration, and perseverance needed to produce an “EV” that really rolls.

IN THE CLASSROOM / ACADEMICS AT DEERFIELD In an effort to understand how the pursuit of the distinctive “American dream” helped to shape the culture and literature of the United States, Gerry Alexandre says that the piece of literature that spoke most to him was Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense.” And when it came time for Gerry to write and memorize his junior-year declamation, he focused on his own family’s distinctive American dream.
Students take part in Miles for Meals, an event to raise money for local food banks.

“My mom and dad both speak English, Haitian Creole, and French. I may not speak Creole, but I do follow Haitian traditions . . . this is all part of our American dream. One of the most rewarding aspects of taking American Dreams and U.S. History at the same time was the ability to bring knowledge from one class to another.” GERRY ALEXANDRE

ORCHESTRATING A TEAM
A chamber group has no conductor, so teamwork is essential: “The teachers get us started, and then we go off on our own. For an Elgar piece, for instance, we discussed how to translate the feeling of ‘sinister trees’ into the way we play the music, such as how the bow contacts the strings. We try things and work them up until they’re conveying what we want to express . . . There’s a big social aspect to this. Nobody’s the leader, everybody’s a co-leader, and that’s essential to our success.” NATE STEELE

WHAT MOVES YOU? From the most basic painting and drawing classes to advanced tutorials in acting and dancing, you’re invited to express yourself at Deerfield. Every student takes at least two terms of visual and performing arts. Opportunities to hone your skills— or try something new—extend far beyond the classroom.

COCURRICS
31
Each term, students are required to participate in a COCURRICULAR ACTIVITY. What is a cocurricular, you ask? They are organized programs that take place outside of the classroom. Cocurriculars support the pursuit of excellence in athletics, the arts, and the local community; they are often collaborative and inclusive experiences. Your “cocurric” might be varsity soccer in the fall, afternoon studio time in the winter, and community service at a local elementary school in the spring. No matter what, cocurriculars are an important part of everybody’s day; they foster teamwork, fun, growth, leadership, and an understanding of your role within a larger group with a common goal.

EMBRACE THE OPPORTUNITY
“ There is a ton of opportunity to get involved in the performing arts,” says veteran thespian Wilona Waife. “One moment I will cherish forever from my time at Deerfield is being a part of my first theater production, You Can’t Take It With You, as a ninth grader.” From that first performance through her senior year, skills Wilona honed on the stage were also put to use as an Admission Tour Guide, playing in the Ukulele and Bongo Orchestra, and rallying classmates and friends as a Deerfield cheerleader.

SERVICE
STRONGER THROUGH SERVICE On and off campus, Deerfield students and employees come together to serve the community—whether it’s to curb hunger, alleviate inequality, or encourage the next generation to learn. You’ll find students volunteering at Second Helpings or at a local elementary school. Every term, each of our athletics teams performs a service project. And then there are times when the whole school moves to action—for a blood drive, the Relay For Life, or an impromptu fundraiser.

opportunities for students, faculty, and staff.
RESPECTING DEERFIELD, RESPECTING EARTH When you throw something away, where does it go? That’s the question Deerfield students pondered when they established Think 80/20, the environmental campaign that encourages everyone on campus to reuse, recycle, and compost. From the hydration stations around campus to our annual competition for greater energy efficiency, campus sustainability happens locally—but it’s a model with global ambition. You’ll learn new skills, gain knowledge, and develop a connection to and sense of responsibility toward our community.
GROWING GREEN When Deerfield’s original greenhouse was bursting at the seams, an adjoining “hoop house” was added to support cocurricular and academic work among students interested in growing plants for food and study. Under the guidance of a horticulturist, students help to grow a wide variety of fresh herbs and veggies, such as arugula, kale, spinach, peppers, carrots, and even the occasional eggplant. Bounty from the greenhouses makes its way to the Dining Hall to supplement what’s purchased from outside vendors. It’s a nutritious and delicious experience for everyone!
40
GO GLOBAL
There’s a great big world out there, and Deerfield’s travel and study abroad programs offer opportunities for you to develop the skills and attitudes essential to global citizenship. You’ll be challenged to consider new perspectives and different cultures as you integrate your Deerfield education with the shifting realities of the wider world. Led by experienced Deerfield faculty and organized by the Academy’s Center for Service and Global Citizenship, these programs also allow you to deepen your relationships with the faculty leaders and your fellow travelers. You’ll return to campus with new perspectives and a broadened world view that helps to prepare you for college and beyond.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS If you enjoy expressing yourself through the written word, the lens of your camera, or by drawing, painting or sculpting, there are several ways to share your work in print and online. Albany Road, Deerfield’s premier literary and arts magazine, is a student-run publication that is printed three times a year; The Deerfield Scroll, established in 1925, is the official student newspaper of the Academy. With a mission to
ALBANY ROAD: LITERARY AND ARTS MAGAZINE THE DEERFIELD SCROLL THE POCUMTUCK LITTLE BROWN HOUSE REVIEW
encourage informed discussion of pertinent issues that concern the Academy and the world, each edition is lively and thought provoking. Deerfield’s yearbook, The Pocumtuck, was first produced in 1928, and is yearly testament to student life as well as honoring each year’s Senior Class. And the Little Brown House Review, named after an actual “Little Brown House” on Albany Road, highlights the best of student writing produced in Deerfield’s English classes. So let your creativity and talent flow, and then share it with the community!
“Albany Road is a cherished medium for artistic voices, an intimate channel for unique experiences, and a loving community for the creative and the brave.”

Senior proctors bond with ninth- and tenth-grade students in the halls where they live— helping them adjust to dorm life and serving as role models and sounding boards. More than mentors, proctors set a positive tone for their halls and form meaningful connections with their proctees.

BOARDING SCHOOL

At boarding school, students gain access to an abundance of opportunities, people, and facilities. They embrace a wide range of challenges and experiences, including rigorous coursework, independence, influential role models, lifelong friendships, extraordinary resources, and exposure to peers from vastly different backgrounds. Boarding school offers an education that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

BOARDING = COMMUNITY + CHARACTER In addition to receiving an extraordinary education, boarding school students also learn what it means to be respectful, caring, and engaged citizens in a rapidly changing world. You will grow to understand the value of resilience, grit, and compassion through daily tribulations and triumphs. Residential communities made up of diverse student bodies provide opportunities for you to develop curiosity about and empathy for other members of the community.
