Support & Enrichment

Small enough and smart enough to truly personalize each learning experience.

In addition, students and parents are encouraged to contact Jenny at jboesch@derryfield.org for consultation on the services that match their needs. Students who are on financial aid will work out support needs with Jenny Boesch and the financial aid office.
