ANTI-DISCRIMINATION

Fairfield International Academy (FIA) is committed to providing a place where people can thrive. FIA thinks it is in the best interest of each individual and FIA that we dedicate ourselves to creating an educational and working environment that promotes respect, dignity and equality and that is free from all forms of harassment, exploitation, intimidation, illegal discrimination and retaliation. These behaviors are demeaning to all persons involved; they are unacceptable conduct, and will not be tolerated. 

FIA expects all students, employees and members of the school community to conduct themselves in an appropriate and professional manner, with respect for the personal dignity of fellow students, employees and visitors. It is the responsibility of each member of our school community to demonstrate a basic generosity of spirit devoid of any expression of bigotry. Students, employees and visitors come to Fairfield International Academy from many different backgrounds and cultures, including different races, religions, sexual orientations and ethnic ancestries. 

FIA encourages its members to seek to understand the differences and similarities among us and to appreciate the richness that such diversity provides to an international community. Respect and understanding of the differences among people are important dimensions of education that continue throughout a lifetime. Harassment of any member of the school community by any other member of the school community or by vendors, visitors or other third parties will not be tolerated. FIA will not tolerate unlawful discrimination, harassment or any kind or retaliation, whether intended or not. Any student with a concern about harassment, discrimination or retaliation should report it to the Head Principal.
