Fairview International School, Bridge of Allan hosts open day on October 26 for potential students
The open day will be an opportunity for prospective students and families to tour Fairview’s campus, explore the latest renovations, meet their faculty of international teachers, hear about scholarship opportunities, talk to students, and discover what it is like to be part of Fairview’s family as well as learn about the school’s facilities, curriculum, and values.
Fairview International School, Bridge of Allan offers a holistic learning experience to children aged 5 to 18, through the world-renowned IB learning framework. The IB programme is an internationally recognised qualification with a worldwide standardised curriculum, permitting students to transfer freely from one school to another in any country in the world. The school’s mission is to nurture inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who will help create a better and more peaceful world through an education system that builds intercultural understanding and respect.
This year, Fairview International School, Bridge of Allan, was formally recognised as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum school, having received official certification for the delivery of its Diploma Programme (DP) for students aged 16-19, now offering three IB core programmes.
David Hicks, Fairview International School, Bridge of Allan Headteacher, said: “We are excited to welcome new families and the community onto our campus this Autumn. Open days are a fantastic way for prospective students to really get a feel for what Fairview is all about. Alongside a tour of our campus, guests will gain insight into the learning and teaching styles of our school which prioritises the individual and delivers the best possible education we can. We welcome any questions you may have and look forward to sharing our wonderful community with you.”
The open day will be a great opportunity to explore the newly refurbished student HUB in the Main School Building, reflecting Fairview’s commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment for its students. The new HUB has been designed to provide DP students, aged 16-18, with a space to work and socialise, featuring large dual-aspect event rooms, an open plan kitchen-diner and lounge with a separate study area, and a newly refurbished library. Fairview’s DP Hub was created to encourage senior students to practice independence in preparation for their next steps in life after school.
The Main School Building is a historical piece of architecture, built in the neo-Jacobean period in the 1860s. However, inside the traditional frame are state-of-the-art, modern facilities, and services such as exceptional internet access, A/V equipment, interactive screens, and more.
There has never been a better time to consider an IB education as recent research has found that IB diploma students are three times more likely to enrol in a top 20 HEI than the equivalent A level and 40% more likely than matched A level qualifiers to obtain a first or upper second-class honours degree. Fairview is committed to helping every student reach their personal and academic goals, preparing them for further education and life.
Fairview is known to be among the world's best-performing private schools delivering the IB, with a proven track record of graduates consistently achieving a pass rate of 100 percent. Fairview Bridge of Allan’s global connections and diverse student body, parent community and faculty provide exceptional universal learning opportunities to families based in Central Scotland.
