Fisher believes that college is more than just an academic education—it's a life-changing experience. College molds your perspective of the world, it provides new opportunities, and exposes you to new ideas about life. Since 1903, Fisher has been providing life-changing experiences to students by focusing on the three most important aspects of a college experience: education, dedication, and life.
Classes at Fisher College are small, focused, and provide an intimate experience so you get the most out of them. Our dedicated staff includes full-time faculty advisors and our classes are taught by professors, not teaching assistants, so you are surrounded by opportunities to learn. We also believe that life outside the classroom is an equally important part of your college experience. The Fisher community gives you opportunities to get involved and figure out what's important to you outside of academics.
Located next to Braintree's historic district and just up the hill from the MBTA’s final Red Line stop is the historic 34-acre campus of Thayer Academy. Since 1877, our coeducational day school for grades 5-12 (Middle School, grades 5-8; Upper School, grades 9-12) has been an enabling and ennobling environment where each student is affirmed, supported, and challenged to take on responsibilities, ambitions, and achievements. Thayer continues to be a place where tradition and innovation meet, and where students form lifelong relationships with one another and with inspiring teachers who care deeply about their students' personal growth and academic success.
