Dear Fairview-Clifton German Language School Community,

As we embark on a new academic year, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the journey ahead. At Fairview-Clifton German Language School, we are committed to fostering an environment where every student is encouraged to embrace their learning potential and cultivate a passion for global discovery. Our mission, to inspire students to become versatile learners equipped for an ever-changing world, is at the core of everything we do.

As we navigate the complexities of today's world, it is more important than ever to instill in our students the values of curiosity, adaptability, and empathy. These are the qualities that will empower them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and diverse society. Our vision is clear: to provide an exceptional bilingual education and a cultural experience that prepares students to be innovative members of a vibrant global community.

I want to extend a warm welcome to all our new families joining us this year, as well as express my gratitude to those who have been part of our community for years. Each and every one of you plays a vital role in creating a supportive and enriching environment for our students to grow and excel.

As we work together to achieve our shared goals, I encourage you to actively participate in the life of our school community. Whether it's volunteering in the school-building, attending school events, or joining GEBAS (our Parent Teacher Association) your involvement strengthens the bonds that make Fairview-Clifton German Language School truly special.

I am confident that with our collective efforts and dedication, we will continue to uphold the values of excellence, inclusivity, and cultural appreciation that define our school. Together, let us inspire our students to reach new heights and embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

Here's to a successful and fulfilling school year!

Warm regards,

Savannah Rabal

Fairview-Clifton German Language School

Fairview-Clifton German Language School, a CPS, K-6 magnet school, attracts families interested in the many benefits foreign language immersion offers. Beyond foreign language education, Fairview is focused on providing students with a well-balanced, holistic education.

Advisory

All students in grades 5-9 belong to an Advisory Team. Advisory Teams are made up of a small group of students and a teacher. They are a place where students make plans: for school, for college, for their careers and for their futures. This is a safe time to talk about barriers and needs; to be serious, but to have fun, too. Advisories are helping students build academic and social skills by breaking down barriers, fostering relationships, strengthening listening skills and, most important, building trust.

CPS' My Tomorrow Initiative

My Tomorrow is a new vision of education for CPS in which every student is prepared for the remarkable future racing straight at us.

Content Standards

At CPS, we aim to ensure all of our students graduate from high school ready for the career paths of their choice. That's why all of our schools offer coursework that challenges and engages our students. We follow Ohio's Learning Standards to ensure our students at all grade levels build the skills and knowledge they need to be college and career ready.

Gifted

CPS offers enrichment programs for students who are identified as gifted. Fairview-Clifton offers gifted enrichment services at and beyond grade 3. Visit the CPS website to learn more about our gifted programs.

Testing

Students in Cincinnati Public Schools are tested throughout the school year to determine knowledge and skill levels. These tests measure students’ achievement to determine strengths and weaknesses so teachers can adjust instruction to meet students’ needs. Visit the CPS website to learn more about testing procedures.

Special Education

Special education and related services are offered to children ages three through twenty-one in public and non-public schools. Visit the CPS website to learn more about our programs and services.
