Fairmont's Homestay Program

Why Should you Host an International Student? Here is what some our Fairmont Families have to say about the Homestay Program.

 

"Not only is it a rewarding experience for the student, it also is for the Host Family. My son now has two new playmates. They can get another brother or sister at home to teach them about their customs and even a few words of their language. My son is just attached to his host sister.

 

Looking at it from your child's viewpoint, they become a part of the family. You're not just parenting a kid, its adding to the joy of your family."

 

- Carrise Moriyasu, an Anaheim Hills Parent who has hosted for over 2 years and is currently hosting two Russian students

 

"Homestay was an amazing experience for my family and I!  We really enjoyed learning a lot about the Chinese culture and traditions as well as sharing ours with them. It was so much fun introducing them to things they had never experienced before, such as the beach and bowling. Overall it was a great experience and we definitely would do it again!"

 

- Michelle Anderson, a Fairmont Anaheim Hills Teacher who hosted 2 Chinese students for 5 weeks

 

The Fairmont Homestay Program is looking for Fairmont Families to host an international student for our short-term, long term, and summer programs at our Mable, Anaheim Hills, and Preparatory Campuses. Fairmont has a variety of student programs ranging from two weeks to an entire academic year allowing any family the opportunity to participate in this rewarding experience. Families will also receive financial compensation for their participation.       

Interested families are invited to attend our Homestay Program Information Meeting at the Anaheim Hills Campus on March 28, 2012 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Families can RSVP for the meeting by visiting our website at http://www.fairmontschools.com/homestay. For more information, please contact the Homestay Office at714-999-5055 x 1689or email [email protected].

Did You Know... Fairmont Preparatory Academy Concert Choir, Concert Band and Show Choir have been honored with an invitation to participate in the London Festival of Music?  

These 45 Fairmont Prep music students, grades 9-12 compete annually, nationally as well as locally.  April 2008 the groups attained national ranking, which earned them invitations to perform in such exotic locales as Germany, Austria, China, and a number of cities throughout the United States. Prior to London, the students have competed in San Francisco, New York, Hawaii.

London is their first opportunity to compete internationally. Additionally, the Concert Choir has been invited to sing Eucharist mass at St Paul's Cathedral and Covenant Garden, and to perform at Regent Park. The Choirs and Band leave April 2 and return April 8. We're wishing them lots of luck!

Traveling Scientist Brings Hands-On Science to Mable Campus

What do magnets, turtles, the periodic table, and spiders have in common? They are all topics taught by the Traveling Scientist. The Traveling Scientist visits each year for first through fifth grade students. Each grade level explores a unique subject in the science world.

In first grade, students learn the difference between reptiles and

amphibians. The traveling scientist brings along some of her friends to help the students learn the difference. This year, the students met a snake, a tortoise, a toad, and a lizard.
During second grade, the topic is "Eight Legs or Six" and students explore the insect and spider worlds. This year, the traveling scientist brought along a walking stick bug, beetles, cockroaches, and a tarantula named Rose for the students to meet. 
When third grade rolls around, the students get excited about "Feather Fun" which takes them deep inside the bird kingdom to show what makes birds unique. This year, the students met an injured owl and learned about his path back to health. They also met a parrot and a dove.
In fourth grade, animal studies stop and the students delve into the topic of magnets. Electromagnetic motors are explored and students learn the role magnets have in making a compass work. This year's highlight for the students was having magnet races.  "What's the Matter" is the question in fifth grade as the students are introduced to the periodic table of elements and the basics of chemistry. This year, the student highlight was creating and watching various chemical reactions.

Each and every year the students look forward to the day the Traveling Scientist visits.
