TestimonialsTwo weeks ago I moved to San Francisco to start a job as a software engineer for Perpetual Entertainment, a developer of massively multiplayer online games. When on the job hunt, I was constantly asked where my interest in game development began. I always answered that 13 summers ago, I first started programming in qbasic at a small summer camp. The summer camp I was referring to was one of the first computer programming courses Steven taught as part of the FCS summer program. I would really appreciate it if somebody could pass this on to Steven somehow, as I think he would get a kick out of a former student hitting it big. Chris White, A Former Computer Game Programming Student
"This class was extremely beneficial to my daughter. We will definitely work on her problem areas.
Her instructor was an exceptional teacher. My daughter really enjoyed the class and is motivated to do the things he has recommended she do to improve not only her SAT score but also skills that will serve her well everyday.
Great program...overall."
"Matthew really enjoyed his two weeks at your summer program.
We've watched his movie several times and he loves showing it to us. He also got a lot out of the writing program, telling us that he learned a lot about punctuation. He seemed very proud of his accomplishments. And he has already asked to go back next year -- he's interested in taking the robotics class!
Thanks for a great program."
“I highly recommend sending any child who is interested in computer programming to Fairfax Collegiate. The staff at Fairfax Collegiate is simply the best—attentive, professional, and accommodating. My 12 year old son was excited every day he attended class and was eager to work hard under the tutelage of young, bright teachers who brought the best out in him. He learned to program in a snap and developed an avid interest in programming. Hats off to Fairfax Collegiate for no small feat!”
"My children (4th and 6th grades) took a variety of summer classes, including math, drama, video, computers, and Spanish. Each class was small and included lots of individualized attention. The wonderful staff really made learning fun for them, and they are enthusiastic about attending next summer."
"In this summer camp, Andy, made friends, met SAT challenges (although he was only a fifth grader), learned how computer code makes a ball bounce, how grammar is different from writing, and shot and edited a video project with other campers. This is a program tailored to provide learning environment appropriate to all ages, which Andy enjoys and loves to return."
"The teachers are very nice at Fairfax Collegiate School, making it a great learning experience."
“The SAT prep course helped me become more comfortable with the test format and question types, which helped me score a 1400 combined on the mathematics and verbal sections.”
“The instructor made the course entertaining and fun, two adjectives I never thought could modify the SAT!”
