about Fairmont IB!
John Day

"...we have such a strong community in IB. Having a network of support is really an amazing to thing to have. "
Greyson Osterfeld
Class of 2022
"It's not just the typical textbook knowledge you would get in other honors classes...IB is unique in that it works to create well-rounded students in more ways than just what you learn while in school."
Hayden Sprance
Class of 2022
"It isn't just strictly one big test at the end of the year. We have different ways to show that we comprehend and understand the knowledge that we're being taught."
Rand Al Samarrai
Class of 2023
"I think that a different dynamic of teaching and learning where it's student led and there's a lot more examination and evaluation about your own personal knowledge experience has been really insightful."
Gianna Delander, Isabelle House, Sophie Campbell, Alice Wagoner, & Lola Poe-Slade
Class of 2021
"As long as you manage your time, the work is very manageable. You can do it. Do IB," Alice Wagoner

Class of 2022
"The IB Diploma Program is more than a curriculum to me. It is a place where students can get to know each other more, where introverts can become extroverts, and a place that can become like a second home."
Morgan Lacy
Class of 2022
"The IB Diploma Program...has made me a more rounded thinker. I feel like it's made me more critically think about things too besides just looking at something and 'okay, just memorize this.' "
