ROB CHANDLER, CEO

At Fairmont Private Schools we believe that maintaining excellence in education includes staying abreast of new ways we can enhance the learning process for our students.  As a parent, you are familiar with several aspects of the progressive curriculum that Fairmont leadership has put together to achieve this.  Programs such as our Accelerated Reading and Advanced Math programs challenge our students at their individual levels and provide a unique and special learning process for our students.

One area within our research that is beginning to contribute significantly to our understanding of the most effective ways to educate our students is neuroscience.  Neuroscience research has begun to reveal many of the brain's secrets, including its remarkable plasticity - that is, its ability to change and to develop stronger and more numerous neural connections.  As parents and educators, we can be interested in neural connections because they are what give rise to cognitive skills, and are what enable our children to take in, process, understand and remember what we are trying to teach them. 

Recently we discovered a new program called BrainWare Safari that focuses on developing 41 cognitive skills.  Children who have used the program have experienced significant cognitive growth, and in short, we believe this program holds a tremendous promise in helping students get the most out of the curriculum and teaching that Fairmont provides. 

We have arranged for parents of students at all Fairmont Private Schools to have access to this extraordinary new program, which can be purchased on a voluntary basis at a special discount.  Fairmont has also arranged for computers to be available during Extended Day Programs (to students whose families have purchased the program) in order to supplement the student's use of the program at home. We hope you will be able to attend BrainWare Safari's presentation this evening at 7:30pm on the Anaheim Hills Campus.

Thank you!
