The best part of my experience at prep I would say is the amazing people and faculty you meet and create long lasting bonds with. And my worst experience is probably the first day not knowing anyone and having to restart.

Fairfield College Preparatory is an excellent high school for my son. It has great faculty, very involved parents, great resources to help the students succeed and a great brotherhood. It has many clubs and activities to keep students involved. One their great mottos "Do not be a 2:30 kid" which means when the academic day is over join a club , sport or activity of your interest.

This school knows how to educate boys- period. Our son loves this school, especially the athletics and the teachers, the school pride and community. I cannot recommend it more highly.

Fairfield Prep has a name and reputation. However, the school has zero guidance and puts up with endless bullying. No action is taken when physic verbal abuse takes place. It’s a shame that this school has declined in leadership and in values. Stay away and send your son to respectable school.

The school is really amazing with the support it provides to its students. There is also peer support and a very good vibe among the students.

I went to school here several years ago. The teachers and administrators were professional and dedicated to serving their students. I would recommend this school to anyone. Despite the high cost, it is worth every penny.
