Since 1953, Fairmont has been focused on one thing – its students. This focus has served its families well for generations and is more important now than ever before, as Fairmont prepares students for global success in the 21st century.

Serving 2,400 preschool through high school students (ages 2 – 18) across five campuses in beautiful Orange County, California, Fairmont provides a comprehensive education where students explore the full range of their potential as scholars, athletes, artists, and leaders.

Named Orange County’s Best Private School for nine consecutive years, Fairmont’s secular, co-educational P-12 educational program balances time-honored fundamentals with innovative, cutting-edge approaches to learning, taking into account intellectual as well as social and emotional growth.

Highly-acclaimed curriculum is delivered by caring, compassionate teachers, resulting in exceptional student outcomes. Fairmont students routinely work a minimum of one full year ahead of their grade level. Graduates leave as globally-aware citizens, prepared to excel at highly competitive colleges and in life.

Students come from all over the world for Fairmont’s renowned advanced specialty programs, including Advanced Science and Engineering, Advanced Mathematics, Robotics, and International Business. Fairmont is an International Baccalaureate World School and one of only a small number of private schools in the US to offer the full continuum of IB Programmes – Primary, Middle, and Diploma. Its Debate program is nationally recognized.

Fairmont embraces a growth mindset and believes in the rewards of working hard, taking risks, and never giving up. The school celebrates its diverse campus communities and fosters a spirit of teamwork and mutual respect.
