Wendy Fairon

Wendy Fairon is the Executive Director of Chico Country Day School (CCDS). Originally from Rancho Bernardo in the San Diego area, she has been in education for over 20 years. She taught in the classroom for 11 years, first in elementary school and then as a middle school English teacher at CCDS. 

In 2015 Wendy earned her Masters degree in School Leadership from High Tech High in San Diego. She wrote a professional development grant for project based learning while still teaching English at CCDS, which allowed several of our teachers to visit High Tech High and learn more about this unique teaching method. Since then project based learning has become one of the bedrock educational achievements for our school.

Wendy is now in her 9th year as an administrator. While her love for education runs strong, she also has a passion for cooking and creating. Wendy attended the culinary arts program at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island and we have heard on good authority from friends and colleagues that she is, in fact, a wonderful cook.

Wendy and her husband Matt have two sons who attend Chico Country Day. They love to spend time outdoors exploring, traveling, and being creative whenever they can.
