Check Our Boarding School Calendar for the Latest Fenster Events and Holidays

Both current and prospective Fenster students, as well as their parents, can refer to our boarding school events calendar to see the general schedule for examinations, holidays, graduation and more. It is important for students and parents to look at this calendar and plan any vacations in advance and around the time for exams. We uphold all our rules for attendance requirements, and vacations are not considered excused absences during exam times.  

All of our policies, even the ones regarding boarding school events, are in place to help students succeed in their studies and learn to become productive, responsible citizens. Though academics play a central role in our students’ lives, we also encourage our students to pursue their interests in the various extracurricular activities we have on our campus. From sports to the yearbook staff, our students are provided with diverse opportunities to find their areas of interests and to pursue them.

If you have questions about our boarding school activities or are interested in enrolling your teen, you can contact our office at 520-749-3340 or you can call our Headmaster Don Saffer at 520-465-0990. We’ll discuss with you the different opportunities available at Fenster and provide you with any information you need.  At Fenster, we can work with you to accommodate a middle-of-the-year enrollment for any extenuating circumstances. Contact us today to visit our campus and find out how we can help your teen succeed for life.
