OUR
PROGRAMS
The IB Diploma Program is a rigorous academic program,
which gives students the opportunity to earn an honors-
level, internationally-recognized high school diploma that
can be used for admittance to universities around the
world. Fairmont is one of few private schools in Orange
County that offers an IB Program, and our program is
unique because it is highly individualized. We work one-
on-one with students to develop the best course of study.

Fairmont provides strong academic
support and various extracurricular
activities that students can
participate in, which help both
domestic and international
students become engaged with
one another. The cultural
diversity also makes Fairmont
unique from other schools.
I really get to learn things
from different perspectives.
