Osborn Hill School is known and recognized to be THE BEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in all of Fairfield. I know many families who have gone to great lengths to make sure their home is in the OHS School District, just so their kids can attend this school (along with the Middle School and High School in this district.)

OHS is well known for their incredible atmosphere of kindness and community. Moms know that many children who build friendships at OHS, go on to be life-long friends.

Having children who attend OHS, I can tell you from experience, both the teachers and staff are outstanding. The curriculum is strong and filled with exciting challenges. The teachers bring such enthusiasm and fun to the material, they make learning easy and enjoyable. The school is also strong in Art and Music.

For added value, there are a wide range of after-school activities offered to the students; programs such as Floor Hockey, Basketball, Flag football, Baseball skills, Gym games/Obstacle courses, Tae Kwon Do, Scrapbooking, Cookie Decorating, Origami, and the list goes on!

It has been such a positive experience. My child had the same thing to say EVERY DAY after school, "School was GREAT today." My kids love OHS school and their teachers so much they never want the school year to end. Summer is no match for their fun at school!

It is such a wonderful feeling to know your kids are being educated at a place where they don't just learn, they thrive! Thank you to all those teachers, staff, and volunteer parents who make OHS the BEST school in Fairfield. We appreciate you! Close Quote

Our daughter just started Kindergarten at Osborn Hill and both she and we, her parents, love the school and the teachers. The school is very well organized and very well governed by its Principal, Mr. Lipman! I can only say good things about the school. Close Quote
