Welcome to Our School

Thank You for Visiting

We are delighted that you are interested in learning more about our school!

We are situated on a beautiful campus in Wellesley, near Wellesley College and adjacent to the Dana Hall School.

Tenacre provides an academically challenging environment for students, one that nurtures their intellectual curiosity, stimulates personal growth, and fosters critical thinking. We encourage the physical, moral, and social growth of our children, and strive to prepare them for life in the culturally, racially, and economically complex world that awaits them. As you begin to explore our website, I hope you will begin to see what makes Tenacre such a special place.

On this web site, you will find information about our curriculum, our calendar, our faculty, and all the many exciting activities that take place every day at Tenacre. But the best way to learn about a school is to engage with us. A good partnership between home and school begins when you understand our approach to education, and we recognize your expectations for your child's education.

Our whole Admission process is designed to help you get to know our school better and to decide if Tenacre is the right fit for your family. We pride ourselves on engaging families in a process that is welcoming, warm, and personal. We begin the Admission process for the 2025-2026 school year in October 2024. You may reach out to set up an individual appointment by calling Elizabeth O'Connell at 781-591-7408 or emailing her at eoconnell@tenacrecds.org.
