The current state budget crisis has more parents than ever before seeking alternatives for education. Since 1953, Fairmont has partnered with parents who seek the best opportunities for their children. Tour today, or join us at one of our spring open houses, to learn how Fairmont makes the difference at every grade level.


strong academic & individualized learning

Fairmont has a legacy of top test scores and academic awards. A rigorous, proprietary curriculum combined with ongoing analysis of student performance helps Fairmont teachers identify ways to maximize learning opportunities for each student individually.

intimate campus community

Fairmont's warm and thriving community includes teachers, students, coaches, tutors, counselors, librarians, administrators, parents, and grandparents. At Fairmont students benefit from individual attention and mentorship from professionals who are passionate about education and truly care about students. Faculty and staff know students by name, and engender an environment of respect for individuality and diversity. From preschool through high school, Fairmont campuses are safe and secure. Student discipline standards and a strong character development program keep Fairmont students focused on academics.

continuous education

Serving preschool through high school students, Fairmont has five campus locations in Orange County, and is the oldest, largest, non-sectarian private school group in Southern California. While some families live in our neighborhoods, other families commute from throughout Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties to attend Fairmont from preschool through junior high. Students and families who appreciate individualized college counseling, a close upper school community, and differentiating academic and student life opportunities continue on at Fairmont’s high school, Fairmont Preparatory Academy.

21st century learning

Fairmont's goal is to achieve student outcomes that align with the educational and professional demands of the 21st century. Fairmont’s curriculum blends the teaching of specific skills such as innovation and critical thinking, content knowledge in core subjects, and media and information literacy in order to prepare students for higher education and an evolving, global job market.

"whole child" focus

Fairmont education extends beyond academics to help each child realize his or her full potential. Fairmont provides a well-rounded learning experience that includes music, athletics, world languages, fine arts, performing arts, community service, computer skills, leadership, and character development.
