EXTRACURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

At Fairview School, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Extracurricular activities play a vital role in supporting students’ academic success, personal growth, and overall well‑being. By participating in school‑based athletics and activities, students build confidence, develop leadership skills, learn teamwork, and strengthen time‑management and perseverance—all while forming lasting friendships and a strong connection to their school community.

Fairview is proud to offer a variety of extracurricular athletic opportunities that encourage students to stay active, engaged, and motivated. Our current offerings include:

Soccer
Basketball
Flag Football
Volleyball

These programs promote physical fitness, sportsmanship, and positive social development in a supportive environment. Participation in extracurriculars helps students explore interests, discover strengths, and develop habits that contribute to lifelong success.

At Fairview, extracurricular activities are an essential part of the school experience, helping us educate the whole child and foster a welcoming, inclusive school culture.

STEM

Did you know that Fairview has an integrated a STEM program which involves our students from Kindergarten through 8th grade? Using curriculum from Project Lead the Way Launch, our Kindergarten through 2nd grade students explore everything from forces and structures to animal adaptations and human body functions. Students practice teamwork and problem solving as they move through the design process real engineers use!

In our 3rd through 5th grades, Robotics, computer programming, simple/complex machines and genetics are a few of the topics students get to dive into. They continue to use the design process to solve problems and explore concepts through hands-on activities. Fairview was the first school in Milwaukee Public schools to have a comprehensive K-8 Project Lead the Way program.

The 6-8 program consists of three, 12 week courses each year. All 6th-8th grade students get 12 weeks that focus on Design and Modeling, Automation, and Robotics. Projects include designing light switch plates, consumer products, playgrounds and cell phone cases in Autocad. Student designs are selectively printed in our 3D printing lab. Students also learn mechanisms and simple machines in their Robotics course. Students use VEX Robotics parts and RobotC programming language to solve real world problems. Projects include designing automated bridges, self guiding vehicles and assembly line production models. Fairview is at the forefront in offering computer science courses throughout the 6-8 experience. Students start out with the basics learning HTML and CSS coding to create websites from scratch. Next, they progress to the graphic arts, and finally move onto creating original Apps for Android based devices. Students complete the computer science course by learning how to access API’s to share information and code breaking.
