LE T T E R F ROM T H E H E A D OF SC HO OL Dear Parents and Students, When I think of our Fairmont Private Schools, it is with a deep appreciation for our history and tremendous excitement for our future. Fairmont Schools have been educating children and adolescents for nearly seven decades and are the embodiment of academic excellence, with students placed into elite colleges and universities throughout the nation and the world. For the past 16 years, we have actively welcomed international students to our schools - making our international student program one of the longest-standing and experienced in California. Students that come to Fairmont will discover a close-knit, globally focused learning community, devoted to their personal development. Our mission is to give students the foundation they will need to embrace the 21st century and to thrive in it. It's a big goal - one that challenges our educators to deliver a curriculum that exposes students to new technology and ideas, develops critical thinking, supports emotional and physical wellness, inspires hard work and self-discipline, and complements the strong ethics and values instilled in our students by their parents. At Fairmont, our programs, curriculum, culture, and people work together to realize our mission, and thus the promise that lies in each and every one of our students. I invite you to learn more about the gift of a Fairmont education. Sincerely, Carolyn Lucia Fairmont Preparatory Academy Interim Head of School & Director of Education *** Join us for our In-Country Parent Conference, May 2020 (China, Hong Kong, Korea, Vietnam) *** For the past 16 years, we have actively welcomed international students to our schools, making our international student program one of the longest-standing and experienced in California. 2
