Fairborn participates in the DOD STARBASE program. All of Fairborn's 5th grade students attend this excellent program. DOD STARBASE is a premier educational program, sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. At DOD STARBASE students participate in challenging "hands-on, mind-on" activities in aviation, science, technology, engineering, math, and space exploration. They interact with military personnel to explore careers and make connections with the "real world." With School Resource Officers (SRO’s) in all buildings, students also learn teamwork, goal setting, and the importance of making good decisions. School Resource Officers offer workshops for parents about topics such as online safety for students, the use of social media today and cyber-bullying. The relationship between the school district and city is a strong partnership which benefits our families.

All Day Kindergarten offered for all students at Wright Campus-

Fairborn offers all-day kindergarten at the Wright Campus and at the Fairborn Primary School. Our kindergarten program model provides an extended day experience that allows our students time for hands-on learning; time for guided practice; time for exploration; time for self-development; and time for social interaction. Research studies indicate that full-day kindergarten can lead to improved academic achievement and nationally; many states and districts are offering full-day kindergarten. Research also shows that students in full-day kindergarten have increased school success and that students in full-day kindergarten are better prepared than those in half-day programs. Achievement findings for full-day kindergarten students show a trend toward higher achievement in literacy and mathematics!

Fairborn’s curriculum requirements meet or exceed the standards set by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Ohio Department of Education.

Fairborn High School offers an outstanding Air Force JROTC program. AFJROTC encourages its students to get involved in their local communities to help them become well-informed and helpful citizens.

Aerospace Science is a combined social studies, applied science, and leadership development course sponsored by the United States Government.
