Overall 3.5 / 4.0 GPA, A or B in Honors Science from previous year, B or better in Honors Math from previous years

CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA to remain in the program

ADVANCED SCIENCE TRACKThe Advanced Science track is designed to prepare motivated students for success as science majors at highly regarded colleges and universities. The College Board and the University of California have recognized courses in the program as “exemplary and innovative.”

Students learn, design, and carry out experiments in our fully equipped laboratory, which houses a PCR themorcycler, gel electrophoresis, and other equipment usually found only in university labs. Students also conduct independent research and have the opportunity to present their work at the annual IEEE Measurement Science Conference.

Past research projects conducted include Stroke and Parkinson’s Research at the University of Southern California and Methionine Cancer Research at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

ADVANCED ENGINEERING TRACKFor those students interested in the fields of engineering and physical sciences, Fairmont’s Engineering track offers a hands-on, project-based curriculum supplemented by internships, field trips, and guest speakers to give students an appreciation and a comprehensive understanding of engineering.

Through our partnerships with California State University, Fullerton and the University of Arizona, students can take up to seven university courses in math and engineering, earning up to 25 semester units on university transcripts by completing the Engineering curriculum.

In the past, field trips for this program have included the Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, Disney’s Engineering Program, and the Engineering labs at CalTech, UCLA and CSUF.

At Fairmont Preparatory Academy, we encourage our students to work hard both in and out of the classroom. One reason top U.S. colleges and universities choose Fairmont graduates is because they demonstrate their abilities through top marks and involvement in extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports and community service.

Fairmont’s Prep Plus after school program is a unique and dynamic rotating schedule of after school tutoring and enrichment workshops. Prep Plus gives students the opportunity to choose from a variety of classes and workshops. They can learn more about American culture, try new sports, prepare for a test, receive homework help or just socialize with friends. Junior High international students will take the Fairmont bus to the Prep for after school and/or Prep Plus classes.

Fairmont’s junior high and high school speech and debate programs offer students a significant edge in the college admissions process and in the pursuit of challenging careers. Participation in speech and debate provides students real cognitive and behavioral benefits, such as improved reading, communication and critical thinking skills. Student debaters learn to function on a team with fellow debate students in a competitive environment, attending multiple competitions throughout the year. Debate participation fosters intellectual curiosity and increases motivation, transforming students into more engaged and responsible young adults with a stronger work ethic.

R O B O T I C S P R O G R A M

Led by professional engineers, the Robotics Program explores the continuous progression of technology. Students blend creativity with physics, computer programming, science, engineering and other academic principles in order to solve daunting technical challenges. They become immersed in examining the problem, designing and building the technical solution along with conducting tests to ensure working ability.. They learn and use sophisticated software and hardware to build a robot of their design.

Students experiment and manipulate technology together as a team. This high level of collaboration drives the passion behind the “Huskyteers,” Fairmont Prep’s Robotics Team. The team participates in an internationally renowned competition hosted by FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).

Preparing for college isn’t just about excelling in the classroom. That’s why campus life is so important at Fairmont Preparatory Academy. From student government and clubs to community service and sporting events, students at Fairmont are stretching their minds and making friendships that will last a lifetime. Fairmont Preparatory Academy has more than 46 clubs, 15 varsity sports and dozens of student-led activities and events throughout the year.

The accomplishments resulting from this program build confidence and provide a catalyst to countless academic and career possibilities. It also provides opportunities to receive college scholarships.
