About
This is what it means to be fully engaged.
Foote is the kind of school where your kid runs inside when you drop them off and is smiling when you pick them up. It’s a place where students—and teachers, and staff members—feel fully engaged, fully alive.
People are working at the top of their game, thinking in new directions, taking confident risks. There’s a lot of learning by doing: experimenting, collaborating, revising. Students are always digging deeper, asking hard questions, looking for new challenges. It’s a K–9 school, so every resource is dedicated to our Lower and Middle School students, and students take leadership roles at each stage. They come from all over the region, from different backgrounds.
But everyone is there for the experience, the Foote School experience. It stays with you forever.

From the Head of School:
“At Foote, learning is at the heart of all we do. Academic excellence matters deeply. We challenge students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and to work at the upper edge of their ability. When they engage fully in the process, they grow, and when they grow, the quality of their work rises. This is how we prepare them not just for the next step, but for a lifetime of curiosity and achievement.”
Welcome to the fully engaged, fully alive Foote School experience.
Foote Factor: Language
Foote is one of the only schools in the area — public or private — to require language in every grade (K–9). Language offerings include Spanish, Chinese, and Latin.
In addition, every grade includes theater, art, and P.E. classes — with double periods dedicated to art, allowing students ample time to focus on their projects in each class.
