Boarding
Blending traditional student housing with a caring, well-supervised family atmosphere, Boarding students develop independence within a community. Students study and live alongside each other, and together enjoy a well-rounded immersion experience. Residences are separate for girls and boys, and a Fairmont community member lives in each Boarding home and serves as the “Resident Parent.” The Boarding program is open to students in grades 9 – 12.
“My Boarding life is like an open door to something new that I haven’t discovered. Here, I get to meet new friends and they are like my second family now. Besides these valuable memories, I’ve learned to be more independent. This might be the thing that I am most proud of, and I think my mom would agree too!”
– Hong Anh Nguyen

When he relocated from Florida to California in 2014, he started working in the Facilities Department at Fairmont Schools. Since then, he has made sure that the campus looks its best every day!
