FAME partners with six renowned independent schools in Western Pennsylvania. These schools, highly regarded for their academic rigor, are known for matriculating leaders in the region and across the country. All six of these schools have been educating students for more than 150 years, are accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools, and boast between 200 and 950 students. Four of the FAME partner schools are Pre-K through 12th grade institutions, one serving students from Pre-K to 8th grade and another from 9th to 12th grade. Four of the FAME partner schools are co-educational and two are single sex schools; one all boys and the other all girls. Each of the participating schools are vested in maintaining a diverse student population and are fully aligned with FAME's mission.
