About Us
We are proud to be Scotland’s first authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum School offering an uninterrupted passage through a comprehensive educational programme from 5 -18 years that includes the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP).
Fairview International is committed to providing a holistic education that promotes academic excellence, fosters personal growth and development, and encourages social responsibility and global citizenship.
Our academic programmes are designed to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, and are delivered by highly qualified international teachers who are passionate about education.
School Life
Our student-centered approach and small class sizes ensures that each student receives individual attention and support to reach their full potential, attaining high levels of achievement in all areas allowing them to become independent, critical thinkers who are prepared to contribute positively to society. Our students thrive academically, socially and emotionally and we are committed to providing a nurturing environment that supports the whole child.
We offer a wide range of co-curricular activities such as sports, arts, and community service opportunities to help students develop a well-rounded personality.
A year-round learning journey with global excellence
Our school year is split into four quarters, each consisting of approximately 10 weeks. The school year typically begins in August and ends in June, with breaks for winter, spring, and summer holidays.
Fairview International School's curriculum is designed to ensure that students receive a rigorous education that prepares them to be successful. It is a great choice for parents who want their children to receive an excellent education in a nurturing and globally-minded environment.
We host open days, events, tours, and immersive taster days throughout the year providing ample opportunities to visit our campus.

The PYP prepares students for the intellectual challenges ahead of them and fosters a lifelong
love of learning. It provides a holistic approach to the curriculum design and places the child at the centre of the learning process.
The MYP is a five-year learning unit that students complete in Year 11. There are
eight different subject areas within the programme, all of which aim to develop well-
rounded individuals that have an awareness of the impact they have on the world
around them.
The DP aims to develop students
who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge; students who flourish
physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. The curriculum is made up of the
DP core and six subject groups.

They're taught to think critically and from multiple perspectives, and they are more self-assured in expressing their ideas and opinions in school and at home.
