Fairhaven School, Upper Marlboro, MD
Fairhaven School’s goal is to provide students ages 5 through 19 the time and support needed to develop the character traits of successful people. Fairhaven graduates have learned how to think for themselves, how to motivate themselves, and how to work hard. They know themselves. They are law-abiding, articulate, and practiced in working with others. Fairhaven graduates embrace excellence and reject prejudice. They are determined to live lives that are both fun and fulfilling, and are confident in their ability to find meaningful, well paying careers.
To develop these character traits, Fairhaven students grow up in a working democracy in which they are responsible for their own educational development and free to follow their individual interests. At Fairhaven School we prioritize people not test scores. All students who are willing and able to be responsible for their own behavior are welcome, from children who want to explore the world around them to teenagers who want to find and pursue their passion.
All proceeds from Goods in the Woods at Fairhaven School support tuition and capital development at the school.
