Mission and programs · 2024

• INSTRUCTION AND EDUCATION: FORMAL EDUCATION OF 499 STUDENTS' GRADES K-9 IN CO-ED DAY & BOARDING SETTING. AS A DAY AND BOARDING SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE NINE AND AN EARLY LEARNING CENTER FROM AGES 2.9 TO 5, FAY SCHOOL IS A COMMUNITY BUILT ON FIVE CORE VALUES: ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE; HONORABLE CONDUCT; DEDICATED SERVICE; EARNEST EFFORT; AND WELLNESS OF MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT. WHILE THE SCHOOL HAS GROWN AND EVOLVED SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1866, OUR CENTRAL PURPOSE HAS REMAINED CONSTANT. FAY PROVIDES A BROAD AND CHALLENGING PROGRAM THAT EMPOWERS STUDENTS TO DISCOVER THEIR TALENTS, DEVELOP THEIR INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES, ESTABLISH ESSENTIAL ACADEMIC SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE, AND DEFINE THEIR MORAL CHARACTER. EARNEST EFFORT HAS BEEN EMPHASIZED THROUGH THE SCHOOL'S HISTORY, AS ENSHRINED IN OUR MOTTO, POTERIS MODO VELIS ("YOU CAN IF YOU WILL"). FAY IS DEDICATED TO EDUCATING CHILDREN TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL IN THE EARLY CHILDHOOD, ELEMENTARY, AND MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS BY HELPING THEM RECOGNIZE AND DEVELOP THEIR INTELLECTUAL AESTHETIC, PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL CAPABILITIES. WE TEACH OUR STUDENTS ESSENTIAL, ENDURING SKILLS: TO READ WELL, TO WRITE AND SPEAK CLEARLY AND COHERENTLY, TO REASON SOUNDLY, TO QUESTION THOUGHTFULLY, AND TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY. THESE SKILLS SUPPORT THEIR ABILITY TO LEAD, TO COLLABORATE, TO CREATE, AND TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.LOVE OF LEARNING BRINGS US TOGETHER, AND WE ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS TO BE CURIOUS, CREATIVE, AND OPEN TO NEW IDEAS. FAY'S SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO TAKE RISKS AND ENCOURAGES THEM TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES, WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF HIGH EXPECTATIONS REGARDING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND ETHICAL CONDUCT. OUR TEACHERS KNOW THEIR STUDENTS AS INDIVIDUALS AND HELP THEM COME TO KNOW THEMSELVES. AS FAY STUDENTS GROW, THEY DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING AN ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR OWN CHALLENGES AND STRENGTHS AS LEARNERS.HONESTY, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, EMPATHY, AND KINDNESS INFORM OUR CONDUCT. THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANNERS, CIVILITY, AND INTEGRITY ARE HALLMARKS OF OUR SCHOOL. AT EVERY GRADE LEVEL, WE EMPHASIZE AN OBLIGATION TO HELP ENSURE THE WELL-BEING OF OTHERS. AS A HOME FOR BOARDING STUDENTS FROM MANY CULTURES AND BACKGROUND THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD, FAY IS AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY THAT RECOGNIZES, RESPECTS, AND CELEBRATES THE FULL RANGE OF HUMAN DIVERSITY. IN ALL OF THESE WAYS, FAY PREPARES OUR STUDENTS TO LEAD PRODUCTIVE AND FULFILLING LIVES THAT MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
