Student Support

Where Every Student Is Seen,
Known, and Empowered to Thrive

At The Fairfax Christian School, we believe that every student deserves individualized attention, consistent encouragement, and the kind of guidance that helps them discover their full potential. Our Student Support programs are built around one central commitment: we care deeply about each child entrusted to us.

From academic assistance to personal mentoring to university counseling, our mission is to walk alongside students at every step of their journey—celebrating their strengths, supporting their challenges, and helping them grow with confidence and purpose.

Academic Success Program

Compassionate, Personalized Academic Support

Our Academic Success program provides middle and high school students with a quiet, structured, and supportive environment to do their best work. More than a study hall, it is a place where students feel comfortable asking questions, receiving guidance, and building strong study habits.

During Academic Success, students have access to caring faculty and administrators who are available to:

  • Explain difficult concepts

  • Provide one-on-one tutoring

  • Help with organization and time management

  • Offer encouragement and accountability

  • Support students who need extra time, clarity, or reassurance

We are committed to ensuring that every student has the resources, attention, and confidence they need to succeed.

Academic Success meets Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Mentorship

Guidance That Builds Character, Confidence, and Connection

At The Fairfax Christian School, we believe young people flourish when they feel supported by trusted mentors. Our mentoring program creates meaningful relationships that help students navigate academic challenges, social dynamics, and personal growth.

Mentors are thoughtfully paired with students based on their:

  • Interests

  • Personality

  • Background

  • Academic goals

  • Activities and strengths

Through regular conversations, check-ins, and shared goals, mentors help students develop leadership, character, resilience, and self-awareness. This program is a cornerstone of our commitment to nurturing not only excellent students—but exceptional young adults.

University Counseling

Caring Guidance for Every Step of the College Journey

For more than fifty years, The Fairfax Christian School has guided students to top U.S. universities, with many earning distinguished scholarships. Our University Counseling program is intentionally personal, supportive, and thorough—helping students approach the college process with confidence and clarity.

Our experienced Academic Advisors:

  • Assist with identifying universities that fit each student’s strengths and aspirations

  • Guide students through every application step

  • Review essays, resumes, and interviews

  • Communicate clearly with families throughout the process

  • Provide SAT, ACT, and TOEFL preparation support for international students

  • Celebrate each milestone and every acceptance letter

Students also have the opportunity to participate in:

  • Annual university tours of top U.S. institutions

  • Local campus visits to universities such as Georgetown University and the University of Virginia

Our goal is to ensure that every student feels supported, encouraged, and prepared for the exciting transition to university life.

  • Our students receive a top-quality education
