        Fairfield, Connecticut is a town consistently celebrated by Money magazine
        as one of the Best Places to Live. The iconic town of Fairfield is situated on the
        picturesque and ecologically flourishing Long Island Sound, home to five town
        beaches and miles of sandy shores.  Fairfield is renowned for its natural beauty,
        strong community, enviable cuisine, and a dynamic interplay of seaside and
        countryside living.

        Long noted for the Community’s scholastic prowess, Fairfield 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
         superior education for all of its children accounts for its well respected eleven
           elementary schools, three middle schools, and four high schools, two of
            which are private.


                Fairfield is also home to two highly regarded institutions of higher
                  learning, Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University.  While
                    these college campuses add a special dimension to the town’s
                      diverse culture, it is abundantly clear that Fairfield in general
                         is not part of a College Town... but rather, the Colleges are a
                           part of Fairfield.
