Fairview School is a fantastic place to learn, work, and play. Our teachers are all certified and highly qualified to teach students. We have 16 Nationally Board Certified teachers on our staff of 52 certified teachers.

Fairview School offers several extra-curricular activities for our students in addition to the excellent instruction based on the North Carolina curriculum provided by our teachers. Fairview School has an excellent physical education program with two highly qualified instructors. We offer students the opportunities to play soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, wrestling, basketball, and track as members of 7th and 8th grade teams. We have excellent student athletes who represent our school very well.

Fairview School has an excellent music and art program for all of our Kindergarten through 8th grade students. Our students have excellent music instruction provided by certified staff by participating in scheduled music classes, band, and chorus. Our art program is based on the North Carolina curriculum and includes many opportunities for students to learn, develop, and create different styles and types of art.

Fairview School is extremely proud of our Science Olympiad team involving members from 6th through 8th grades who placed 2nd at state competition during the 2014 competition. The Science Olympiad team also competed in the state competition during the 2015 competition.

Last year was the first year for our Fairview Lego Robotics teams to compete. They did so well that they competed at the state level in 2014 and won several events. The Fairview Lego Robotics teams also qualified to compete at the state level competition this year. In addition to the Fairview Lego Robotics teams, we also offer students the opportunity to be involved in a regular Lego Club. The Lego Club had a theme each month and meets to build Lego creations. The Lego Club is open to all students in 3rd through 8th grades.

Fairview School has a very supportive Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The Fairview PTA Board meets monthly to discuss projects for our school. They have helped provide many instructional tools for our school. They have helped to purchase laptops, an ActivBoard, electronic keyboards for music, art supplies, playground equipment, and a variety of other supplies. They also communicate with parents through a website and monthly newsletter that is sent home by students. We value the support and encouragement from our fabulous Fairview PTA.
