Arts
The Arts are a vital part of a Fairmont education. Our goal is to tap into and grow the creativity which exists within each student.

Fairmont has a place for you in the Arts! Take center stage in a musical or develop skills in stagecraft; compose an original song or sing one in a choir; draw an abstract or take a seat at the potting wheel; choreograph a dance or perform one in a competition.
Our Arts programs help students capture the power of their creativity while they begin to pursue specific areas of interest. They are able to shine in their own spotlight through music, theatre, dance, and visual arts classes and co-curricular activities.
Fairmont Preparatory Academy has achieved remarkable recognition across multiple artistic disciplines. The school’s filmmakers won Best Acting Performance at the ISP Filmmaker Awards for their film “The Opportunity Section,” while student Evelyn T. became the first Fairmont Prep student to be spotlit by the ISP Artists Programme for her fine arts painting.
