Fairmont Private School

This is a long overdue review. My child started there a few years ago. The first year it was great. Best teacher and the staff was generally attentive. Second year began with the teacher casually informing me one day at pickup that «oh BY THE WAY, another kid from the class across from us threw a clock at your kid. He’s ok now.» Yes, there was a huge bump on his forehead to show for it. More importantly, said teacher is still there, according to their faculty roster as of a month ago when I checked, so you can see how much they value professional training, courtesy, and decency.
The second half the year was an absolute horror show for my poor child, who was repeatedly subjected to name calling and verbal abuses by a boy in the same class for months. Long story short, we are somewhere else where he’s not only safe, but also striving academically and emotionally. My family would never EVER set foot back there even if they offered us free full tuition. I’d much rather take my chances in public schools elsewhere.

I enrolled my children in this school because it was near my workplace. The stats on students achieving is high according to the brochure they have us. So far so good. The teacher my daughter has is nice and seems to teach well. What I like about this place is that their are a lot of teachers and aides looking after the students. I feel safe leaving my daughter at this school. The tuition is pricey however I will see how it goes. Can’t put a price on my daughters future.

Fairmont is hands down the best school in north OC for pre K to 8^th and here is why. First, no religion, instead, a concentration on academics, which I think is much more important. There will be plenty of people outside of school throughout life that will push religion on ur child. No need to pay for people to do it at school. My kids, 8 & 6, love to go to school every morning. That’s the first sign this school rocks. Second, their academic advancement within weeks has advanced exponentially and I’m not exaggerating. Third, every teacher, faculty member, etc, reinforces a positive environment that enhances my kids’ self esteem and confidence. I would rather starve than have them go to public school, or any other school for that matter. Check this school out because it’s one of a kind.
P. s. — the average class has 15 students per teacher, amazing…

Impressed!
I had originally intended to enroll my child in a Catholic school. I attended Catholic school from 1^st through 12^th. I was disheartened when I interviewed two schools. The academics were lacking and there were other issues.
I was impressed with the reception I received here, the happiness of the teachers, and the academics and discipline. While the tuition is expensive here, it is well worth it. You do have options. They have extended care and a good selection of extracurricular activities.
You want to be involved in your child’s upbringing? This is the place. You will be impressed.
The quality education and discipline you will receive here will trump any issues with the cost. If your child is raised correctly, they will make wise decisions in the future. Here is your chance to make an investment and save money down the road.
The school starts Pre-​School through 8^th Grade (I think). If you are looking into schools. This is a must to at least tour.
I will update down the road. It has only been a couple of months since my child was enrolled. She loves it here.
Fairmont Private School, Anaheim. another reason the OC is the best place to live!
