Welcome 8th grade
Fairmont Families!

At both Fairmont Preparatory Academy and Fairmont San Juan Capistrano, there is something for each of you. Fairmont prides itself on a rich and high-quality high school experience: we balance academic rigor with support and flexibility. Our students are active, engaged, and fully enjoy a small school environment with the opportunity to try on various activities and interests. Our academic counselors work with you directly to create a schedule that is customized to you, ensuring you are challenged while receiving guidance. We look forward to getting to know each and every one of you, and would love to welcome you as a Husky or a Warrior!

SIGN UP FOR A VIRTUAL 4-YEAR PLAN

8th-grade students and their parents are invited to meet with our academic counselors, via Zoom, to create a unique 4-year plan based upon your student’s unique strengths and interests. This meeting will provide you with an academic framework to assist in the decision-making process, and is highly recommended, even if your family is looking at high schools other than Fairmont. 4-year plans will take place December – February.
