John Barrier, Campus Director - International Academy

Our hearts are heavy at Fairmont International Academy as we mourn the losses resulting from the 7.8 earthquake in Sichuan, China on Monday afternoon (local time).  While no family or friends of any of our students have been directly affected by the earthquake damage, certainly our Chinese students' thoughts are with their fellow countrymen and women.  Moments of tragedy remind us that participating together in a global society stretches far beyond business transactions and governmental relations.  To the people of Sichuan and the surrounding areas in Beichuan County, the thoughts of our students, staff, and faculty are with you, and we wish you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.
