THE STORY OF FAIRFIELD

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.
