Fairhaven school life

Principal's Welcome

Here at Fairhaven Christian School, it is our priority to teach students skills that assist them in becoming God-honoring community builders. Over the past forty years, hundreds of students have passed through our doors. Many have traveled across the nation and the globe investing their skills and their lives to inspire change in thousands through the power of Jesus.

It is our prayer and goal to equip our students with education, knowledge, and direction to become true leaders. A true leader participates in an inspired generation, stands for Biblical truth, and leads the next generations into transformation.

— Wendell Stoltzfus, Principal
