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.

The experience of attending Fairfield Prep was an eye-opening one. I came in as a shy student, and came out loud and proud about my experiences. I was welcomed by several students and faculty, and got involved with multiple clubs and sports. It was a good experience.

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.
