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.
