WELCOME TO 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.

                                   even more compelling when realizing that Fairfield
