About
Fay's History
As the first junior boarding school in the country, Fay has quite a story to tell.
The story of Fay School is the story of big ideas and big thinkers who believed passionately in the value of education—not just for knowledge in and of itself, but as a process that fosters every child's intellectual, physical, and emotional growth. Here's a brief look at some pivotal moments in Fay's history.
