The Fay School
School Notes Overview:
Founded in 1991, The Fay School provides a secure, nurturing and academically challenging environment on a lush eight-acre campus along Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. The Fay School offers a caring culture of hands-on learning, creativity, personal attention, and positive reinforcement. So many Houston families are choosing to begin their children’s education at a place where learning is not only encouraged, it is celebrated; where outstanding teachers and a dedicated support staff foster in their students a love of learning for its own sake; a place where values such as respect, tolerance, and self-reliance are held in high esteem and put into practice every day; a place that makes learning the kind of experience it should be: joyful. The mission of The Fay School is to provide a secure, nurturing, academically challenging environment in which children feel free to take risks, to fail, and to try again and, thereby, to learn. We seek the balanced growth of the whole child: intellectual, physical, social, ethical and artistic through academic opportunities....
