Welcome To Fairmont Private Schools

Since 1953, Fairmont has been focused on one thing - our students. It's a focus that has served our families well for generations, and we believe it's more important now than ever before, as we prepare our students for success in the 21st century.

Fairmont students appreciate the fact their school is located in the heart of Southern California.

It's one of the few places on earth where you can spend the morning on the coast and then drive up to the mountains in the afternoon. On weekends, students can go swimming, visit art galleries and museums, and see many other attractions that make the 'OC' one of the top tourist destinations in the world. It is the perfect location that offers an abundance of attractions for every interest and taste!
