Thank you for your interest in Fenster Boarding School for teens. Founded in 1944, Fenster has had a single purpose – to provide an environment in which students can reach their individual potential. Fenster Boarding School's mission is to provide a caring, disciplined structure that will enable students to:

• Finally achieve academic success

• Grow in self-esteem

• Develop responsibility and accountability for their actions

• Earn a high school diploma

• Gain acceptance into an appropriate college, university, community college or junior college.

To accomplish our mission, we provide a daily structure that encourages success and does not give up on the student. The backbone of our structure comes from you, the parent. Without your support, we could not achieve the educational results that we all seek.

As a young man at UCLA, I had the good fortune to play basketball for one of the legends in collegiate American sports, John Wooden. Aside from winning ten National Championships – more any coach at his level – Coach Wooden’s number one priority was always education.

How ironic that the ultimate winner, Coach Wooden, had a completely different view of what success really meant. In fact, Coach Wooden thought the scoreboard could never determine a winner or loser. He defines success as "peace of mind" which comes from knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.

The Fenster's boarding school staff believes the structure we provide helps our students begin the journey of achieving their best. We appreciate the support that families give us as we work hard to make success for each student happen.

This Website will give you and your child an excellent introduction to Fenster Boarding School.
