It is definitely not unusual to repeat a grade here at Deerfield so if you came I can assure that you would meet more than a couple of other people that have.

The bathrooms are communal but I can speak for them and say that they are SUPER clean. Every morning they are cleaned from top to bottom and the showers are private just in case you were wondering...not like one big shower or something that everyone has to share...haha! Hope I helped...anymore questions?
On another not it's going to snow tomorrow for the 2nd time so far this school year (the other time being in October).

@bingalot Thanks, you answered my questions. Another question I had was about he uniform. If I'm accepted, do I buy my uniforms before I come or is their a website on the deerfield website that shows you where to order your clothing?

...I don't think Deerfield has uniforms, right? Just a rather strict dress code, I believe.

@Myshkful That's what I thought also, that probably is the dress code. Do you know where most guys shop at to buy their clothes?

hey i'm applying as a freshman for deerfield this fall, and i was wondering whether it would improve my chances if i were to contact the sports coaches (my main sports are swimming and cross country/running) but i wasn't sure whether my times would be good enough or whether it would make me seem... desperate?

If you are good at the sport and you are passionate about it, yeah, it is a good idea to contact the coach. You can call the admissions office for the contacts or look up the coach’s email on the DA website.

We have a fabulous music department and course offerings. Deerfield pays for private music lessons if you are on FA.
