It’s always great to see members of the FAIS family on campus, especially when alumni come back to visit!

An FAIS middle school student, Maia, will perform for the fourth time with Oregon Ballet Theater in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.

DID YOU KNOW? Each year, FAIS invests over $300 per student to maintain our grounds and $65,000 for field trips that provide experiential learning experiences.
