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, alphabetically and respectively. 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.
