Residents are accustomed to witnessing a very significant
percentage of children matriculate from the illustrious Fairfield
school system to gain acceptance at many of the most elite
universities in the world. Fairfield’s commitment to provide a

schools, 2 of which are private.

higher learning, Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University,
alphabetically and respectively listed. While these college
campuses add a special dimension to the town’s diverse culture, it
