The Fay School

One of our children began attending the Fay School last year for Kindergarten and we could not be more pleased with the quality of education, the personalized attention she receives, and the close-knit community of peers, teachers and "fay families" we have joined. I am convinced that the prior posting submitted by a supposed "teacher" is some form of subtle sabotage by someone unfamiliar with the school as no teacher at Fay would ever spell its name wrong let alone submit something replete with errors for online review.

I love The Fay School. My son just graduated and was there 8 years . Cannot say enough about the teachers and staff.

I can't believe a teacher from the Fay School submitted a review so full of spelling and grammar errors. That's worrisome.

I am a teacher at the Faye School and i was a little concern when i was offered a position. Having been in larger setting with a lot of growth was a concern for me. The leadership was not there..there was a lot of changes taking place. after visitng the school and taking a tour,meeting the staff. I was shock after becoming a part of the Faye family. The Head of the school is awesome as well as the principal. the teacher's are great. I would suggest to anyone to come and take a tour of the grounds and you will be amaze. the school has an amazing nature center. the kids, teacher's, parents, and staff are making good things happen. I love the Faye School and look forward to many more exciting things to happen in the future. the school is very diverse, more than River Oaks Baptist School.

TFS is an amazingly nurturing environment for young children to learn. It has magnificent teachers who are truly dedicated to the children. The multisensory approach to learning encourages yearn for knowledge by the student. The setting is beautiful. The new Head of School is extremely dedicated to the mission of the school. He is very progressive and communicative with the administration and the parents. I would strongly recommend TFS as school that emphasizes early childhood development at an age appropriate level to its students, preparing them to enter the most prestigious independent middle schools in Houston.

The Fay School is a wonderful school that my children absolutely love! A new head of school just started this year and the improvements already have been fantastic! Everyone is excited about all the positive changes that have been long overdue and looking forward to what is to come. What I love most is that my children are learning on their individual level and at their pace. The setting and nurturing at TFS are truly wonderful. I have spoken with many parents who also have children at other 'better private schools' who now have a great appreciation for how truly special TFS is.

This is a school where you child goes if you can't get into a better private school and you don't want public. Very low academic standards.

Fay is in a gorgeous setting and has magnificent teachers. But the leadership is inefficient, nonprogressive, and noncommunicative.

My child transfered to The Fay School after two years at another private school that is known for its outstanding academic program. After just 1 year at TFS, my child has blossomed and is happier than ever before thanks to the amazing teachers, staff and the nurturing environment. The curriculum is developmentally and age appropriate and child-centered. The atmosphere is positive, creative, hands-on and allows for a child's individual growth. The parents are incredibly dedicated and very loyal. Best of all, TFS welcomes parental involvment. My only complaint is that TFS only goes through 5th grade! In my opinion, TFS is the best education and experience for the money!

We sent our younger child to Fay, when he did not get into a more socially exclusive school, where our older child attended. In retrospect, we wish both children had been given the opportunity to spend time at Fay. The school proved that expensive buildings are not necessary for high quality education. The teachers we had at Fay were exceptional in both their encouragement of academic achievement, and in their creation of a nurturing environment. Parent involvement is also high. The main downside item I'd note is that, with such a small school, many extracurricular activities are lacking. I'm also curious if the major capital campaign going on will detract from the intimate qualities that made the school what it was.
