Redefining the Academic Experience:
The Fay School is a place where children come first. At Fay, we work hard to develop experiential and outdoor learning experiences. Developing and supporting a fully student-centered academic and experiential program, this video highlights Fay as an inclusive place where a spirit of adventure and freedom is nurtured using the outdoors for overall student enrichment.
THE FAY SCHOOL is a nonsectarian, not-for-profit, co-educational school in which children of diverse talents and backgrounds with strong academic abilities are offered a high-quality education in a secure, enriching, and academically challenging environment. Here children learn and grow intellectually, physically, socially, ethically, and artistically while developing self-confidence and a lifelong love of learning through an active partnership among educators, parents, and students.
