Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School-Wilton is a co-educational, National Blue Ribbon School offering a Pre-Kindergarten 3 through Grade 8 education model. Fatima’s faith-based environment nurtures the whole child and emphasizes strong moral values and respect for self and others, fostering a kinder and gentler learning atmosphere where your child can be a child a little longer.

Fatima offers traditional classroom learning blended with the latest technology including hardware, student devices, infrastructure, and programming to provide a Personalized Approach to Learning for each student. This approach allows students to learn in an environment that taps their unique needs and strengths in order to engage, inspire, and empower them to reach their highest potential. Technology is one of several tools to enhance curriculum and encourages student creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication. Another tool, the “station-rotation” model, incorporates teacher directed instruction to small groups based on a student’s needs and student collaboration on a teacher assigned project to create and communicate mastery of skills and knowledge. In addition, Fatima continues to offer its STEM curriculum focus and small class sizes.

A hallmark of the school is the emphasis on “Service above Self”, with projects and community events scheduled throughout the year. Extra-curricular activities offered include cross-country, field hockey and basketball programs, after-school band, school plays, music performances, and special interest clubs. Parents benefit from a vibrant family community, early morning drop-off and a flexible after-school program available for all grades.
