A message from FAIRMONT���S President & CEO T welve years ago, Fairmont began a tradition of publishing our yearly academic outcomes in an annual Report Card. It was a way to showcase our students��� outstanding academic, artistic, athletic, and extracurricular accomplishments; a means for sharing standardized test scores and comparing ourselves with other high achieving public and private schools; and a powerful statement about our transparency and commitment to excellence year after year. Today, the Report Card has become one of our most effective communications tools and exists in print, electronic, and video formats. David Jackson President Fairmont was the first private school in Orange County to share publicly the academic data that many schools keep carefully guarded. Why? First, we are extremely proud of what our teachers, administrators, students, and parents are able to achieve when working in concert, and we don���t want to keep it a secret. And, second, we believe strongly in holding ourselves accountable for delivering the kind of world-class education that our parents demand and our students deserve. We continue to strive toward an unseen finish line, measuring our progress in quartiles and percentages but also in the intangible ���Aha!��� moments of a child���s educational journey. This year, in addition to our incredible outcomes, we made some exciting changes including new names for our Edgewood, Citron, and Mable campuses to better reflect the campus locations. The Edgewood Campus is now named the North Tustin Campus; the Citron Campus is now the Historic Anaheim Preschool; and the Mable Campus is now the Historic Anaheim Campus. We thank our entire Fairmont family for embracing these changes. Rob Chandler CEO As we work together to lead Fairmont into the 21st century, we are aware of just how little we know about the future that awaits our students. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are necessary components of a good education, but tomorrow���s leaders will need more. They will need strong communication and collaboration skills. They must be capable of independent thought, relying upon their imagination and creativity to solve problems. And they will need the skills to understand and engage with a global community. We celebrate the progress Fairmont has made these fifty-nine years in preparing our students for success in colleges of quality and challenging them to become exemplary citizens of a global society. We are incredibly proud of the teachers and administrators whose passion is reflected in the pages of the 2012 Report Card and the students whose hard work and talent is impossible to ignore. As Fairmont���s CEO and President, we remain committed to ensuring our students receive the instruction, encouragement, and inspiration they need to make a difference in our rapidly changing world.
