About us
At The Fay School, our core values center on providing an educational experience that ensures our students are Prepared, Well-Rounded, and Articulate—three essential cornerstones for success as they move forward in life. We prepare students for entrance into and success within Houston’s finest middle and upper schools. Our progressive and rigorous curriculum is exclusively preparatory in nature and our graduates are successful throughout the city of Houston. Our well-rounded students are grounded in an appreciation of community and global awareness. Our “Fay Family” is central to the ethos of our international culture and the diversity of thought and experiences our students enjoy. We believe communication is paramount to success and we teach our students to articulate their thoughts, values, and aspirations. At Fay, success is found in our students’ poised and compelling communication with peers and adults alike. Adding to the rigor of our academic program, The Fay School’s most distinguishing factor is our Leadership Development Program. Grounded in both emotional intelligence and human capital strategy, The Fay School’s vision is to deliberately build and educate the next generation of leaders for our world. Our students experience leadership training and curriculum typically reserved for Fortune 500 companies and they graduate from Fay with skills that will serve them for a lifetime. As one of the premier preparatory environments in Houston, we invite you to visit our campus and to experience first-hand our approach to education and leadership. Once you step onto our campus, we believe you will understand who we are and what we do. Most importantly, you will discover why we do what we do – to intentionally create the future leadership of our world. We would be honored to share our vision with you.

Congratulations to our 2024 Gena Lewis Distinguished Teacher Award recipient, Second Grade Lead Teacher Ms. Hart! Gena Lewis left an indelible mark at The Fay School as one of our initial First Grade Teachers. During her 18-year tenure at The Fay School, Gena started the “Open Work” program that laid the groundwork for the experiential learning seen in Fay’s classrooms today. In 2021, the Marie Fay Evnochides Fund established a teaching award in her honor, granted to fund selected experiential projects and recognize the teacher who proposed the idea. Ms. Hart's winning project proposal focuses on the driving question, “How has the Buffalo Bayou affected the development of Houston and The Fay School?” Students will study the natural and man-made elements of our landscape, exploring maps, geography, natural resources, and climate to understand how Houston and Buffalo Bayou have changed - and changed each other - through the years. We are looking forward to seeing this innovative project unfold! 💙🐊💛 #FayLeads #HandsOnLearning #ExperientialEducation #ProjectBasedLearning #GenaLewisAward
