In order for your child to better understand what an average day is like at Fairmont Prep, we encourage you to schedule a Shadow Day for him or her. Accompanied by one of Fairmont Prep's outstanding student ambassadors, your student will sit in on classes in his or her area of interest and spend time with peers to hear about day-to-day life at Fairmont Prep. Transportation to and from the junior high campus will be provided, and lunch will also be provided. Permission slips must be turned in to your campus assistant director at least four days before the scheduled Shadow Day, and your student will need to wear his or her regular required uniform on this day. We have various Shadow Day options throughout October and early November. You can access more information  by downloading our informational flyer , which includes the required permission slip. You may register online.

Thursday, October 30, is our annual North Tustin FPA Fun Run! All students are eligible to create their own T-shirt designs to be entered into a contest. The winner will have his or her design printed on the T-shirt for all students to wear! Please see our T-shirt design contest flyer for more details.

Have you started thinking about college? It's never too early to begin planning for the future. 

Is your child interested in attending a top 100 college or university? What about a top research university or a small liberal arts college? What schools have strong programs for the major your child is considering? Just how tough is it to get into a great college, and what about financial aid? 

If you're starting to ask yourself questions about finding and preparing for the right college, you don't want to miss Fairmont Preparatory Academy's 14th annual Fall Open House & College Fair on Tuesday, October 10,

 from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm! RSVP today !
