- Something happens between the time a 14-year-old boy enrolls and an 18-year-old young man graduates from Fairfield Prep. Of course, he has completed an outstanding, rigorous college preparatory education conducted in and out of the classroom. He has discovered new interests, debated ideas, grown in faith, played on a sports team, performed on stage and learned more about the world around him through an education steeped in values. But he also has gained a sense that looking outward — rather than focusing on himself — is the most important. At Prep, we call this idea "Men for Others." Rooted in our Jesuit Catholic tradition — and stretching back to the founder of the Jesuits, St. Ignatius of Loyola — we educate and challenge our boys to reach outside of themselves to learn about their community and their world through serving others. In the classroom and through athletics, in after-school activities and through service, Prep boys learn about themselves and God.

That means a rigorous, hands-on education where our students learn both inside and outside of the classroom. Boys read and write calculate and draw form opinions and then defend them.

- Fairfield University, founded by the Society of Jesus, is a coeducational institution of higher learning whose primary objectives are developing its students' creative intellectual potential and fostering in them ethical and religious values and a sense of social responsibility. Jesuit Education, which began in 1547, is committed today to the service of faith, of which the promotion of justice is an absolute requirement. Fairfield is Catholic in both tradition and spirit. It celebrates the God-given dignity of every human person. As a Catholic university, it welcomes those of all beliefs and traditions who share its concerns for scholarship, justice, truth, and freedom. It values the diversity that their membership brings to the university community. Fairfield educates its students through a variety of scholarly and professional disciplines. All of its schools share a liberal and humanistic perspective and a commitment to excellence. Fairfield encourages a respect for all the disciplines-their similarities, their differences, and their interrelationships. In particular, in its undergraduate schools, it provides all students with a broadly based general education curriculum with a particular emphasis on the traditional humanities as a complement to the more specialized preparation in disciplines and professions provided by the major programs. Fairfield is also committed to the needs of society for liberally educated professionals. It meets its students'students' needs to assume positions in this society through its undergraduate and graduate professional schools and programs. A Fairfield education is a liberal education, characterized by its breadth and depth. It offers unique and shared reflection opportunities, and it provides training in such essential human skills as analysis, synthesis, and communication. The liberally educated person can assimilate and organize facts, evaluate knowledge, identify issues, use appropriate reasoning methods, and convey conclusions persuasively in written and spoken word. Equally essential to liberal education is the development of the esthetic dimension of human nature, the power to imagine, intuit, create, and appreciate. In its fullest sense, liberal education initiates students at a mature level into their culture, past, present, and future. Fairfield recognizes that learning is a lifelong process and sees the education it provides as the foundation upon which its students may continue to build within their chosen areas of scholarly study or professional development. It also seeks to foster in its students a continuing intellectual curiosity and a desire for self-education, which will extend to the broad range of areas to which they have been introduced in their studies. As a community of scholars, Fairfield gladly joins in the broader task of expanding human knowledge and deepening human understanding. To this end, it encourages and supports the scholarly research and artistic production of its faculty and students. Fairfield has a further obligation to the broader community of which it is a part, to share with its neighbors its resources and its unique expertise to better the community as a whole. Faculty and students are encouraged to participate in the broader community through service and academic activities. However, most of all, Fairfield serves the broader community by educating its students to be socially aware and morally responsible persons. Fairfield University values each of its students as an individual with unique abilities and potentials, and it respects the personal and academic freedom of all its members.
