Fenster Boarding school

I 100% agree with emily. This school is an organized crime ring has far as I am concerned. Charging parents thousands for schooling your kids never recieve. Just a klan of fakes and scam artist. The headmaster is a pervert and should be registered under Megans law, the whole school should be registered for all the unbelievable acts that have taken place at this campus. I personally was assaulted by the staff at this school who were on power trips with no consequence for the brutal actions. I was out of study hall with a valid accuse when I was questioned by a staff member. to this day am not sure how it got physical I think he grabbed my arm xtra hard this hurt so I pulled back well I ended up chocked slamed n pinned to the ground with a 250 pound grown man (x marine with killer instincts) then dropping all his weight on my chest plate with his knee compressing my chest about 4 inches knocking the wind out of me and misplacing my sternum. I was critical hurt. took weeks for the bruise to go away. I should have been to the hospital. My sternums xiphoid (the tab under the sternum) is still sideways to this day. Guess what happened when I tried to go to the hospital. I was told I would be Ok I didn’t need the er. My parents were told I was over reacting and to give it a night or two. The staff member was assisted by the nurse and the rest of the staff in justifying his actions and of course he never was held acountable. If anything this staff member was bumped to the top position through mean and hate full acts like this. I should have pressed charges thinking back but we were all to scared I guess. All I can do now is Unilocal about it and hope I save a kid and maybe a family.
Picture u sending your daughter to a school u think is acredited and safe. U spend 40,000 on tuition then u get a bill for a few hundred a month in spending money that your daughter after learning from her friends that the lest amount of clothing when approaching the headmaster for money pays best and a little touching hugn n flirting pays Evan better. We are talking about a sick prevented 70 old man touchin your little girl then sending you a bill for a couple hundred. And all this time u thought your kids were safe and getting a good education.
I tell u what there is nothing worse than being thousands a of mile from home and to be abused by staff at a school were your parents have already been briefed to expect phone calls with accusations of the school and staff. then u call your parents and beg to be saved and your parents tell u well the headmaster said u would say things like this to get home then cut u off n say they gotta hang up. Believe me the pain from that does not leave very easily. As a matter a fact sending your kid to this school thinking it will help your relationship in the long run or make your kid a better person is absolutely not the truth. As a matter a fact in my case I forgive my parents for what they did, I know they were trying to do what’s best for us but forgiveness didn’t come till after my dad died of cancer and it was to late to tell him.
Yes fenster made me independent. It also made me a little colder and a little harder than I would like to be. i became overly independent But not really in a good way writing of my family .if family means anything to you please don’t send your kid here. Fenster destroyed my family life. Lost all trust and after 15 years I am still trying to get that back and so is my poor mom. Damn u fenster. And damn u Don safer. Don u are truly a piece of shit and deserve to burn in hell u pervert. Sad that your daughter had to grow up in your house. Sad.
There was one man on the staff Carl van fleet who always respected the kids and treated them like humans not pieces of meet or piggy banks. It was like Carl stuck around this god forbiden place just to b there for the kids because he knew he was the only uncorrupted member of the staff And if he left the kids would have no buddy. He Evan had to make it a point that the kids who respected the hell out of him for being there be silent about our feelings because he feared losing his job because the kids respected and trusted him. How backwards of a school. Kids should trust every staff member at a school not fear them all. Carl van fleet u are the exception to these demons.
I could go on and on but my anger rises and rises so let’s leave it at that. Just for the sake of your kids try n work it out.
There is two academys near were I live were the kids i have met are happy. It is called the squaw valley academy in squaw valley ca. Or the sugar bowl academy in soda springs ca .I am sure there are happy kids at other schools I just don’t know any others.

Fenster Boarding school located in Tucson Arizona. This school is not only a complete waste of your money. It is not the place to send your child/​«troubled teen». The school has many flaws. The financial department is completely questionable. You will pay the obscene price of Tuition almost 40,000 annually first of all. This is just the tip of the ice berg. Plan on receiving many other bills through out the year for random expenses, eg. the school charges for your child to do work detail on their property, they bill the parents! Unbelievable.
The staff is incompetent. As a previous student of the Fenster establishment, I saw things first hand that will not only blow your mind, they should have been reported. eg. staff members selling students drugs, staff members sleeping with students, teachers sleeping at their desk when they should have been teaching class, verbal abuse from the headmaster to students, physical abuse from staff members and headmaster to students, poorly educated teaching staff, staff teaching classes that are not accredited teachers. The list goes on.
Beware!!!
