Fairhaven provides a working democracy in which students are responsible for their own education, and are free to follow their individual interests.
At Fairhaven School we prioritize people, not test scores. All students who are willing and able to be responsible for their own behavior are welcome, from children who want to explore the world around them, to teenagers who want to find and pursue their passion.

We’ve been very busy here on campus during the summer.
It’s a perfect time to safely take care of our trees and other large tasks on campus.
When the branch that held the tire swing fell, the tree held its ground.
The same can be said for Fairhaven’s students.
No matter what struggles they may face , big or small, they persevere.
Hope everyone’s having a great summer and we can’t wait to have everyone back for the new school year!
During our Nature and Creativity Camp, students did an Ink Making Workshop!
They used charcoal from our fire pit, gum Arabic powder and water.
Through this workshop they worked together as a team and were able to see the project through on our last day of camp.

Every Monday the Campers get to discuss and vote on where they want to go for the weekly field trip.
This week was Skyzone!
Everyone had a blast and even our Student Volunteers joined in on the fun!
Our Open House is tomorrow! Come on by to see a school that gives students the freedom and responsibility to pursue their own interests and engage in a democratic community.
