Serving students in grades nine through twelve, Fairfield Prep is committed to providing an education rooted in intellectual excellence, personal integrity, and social responsibility. As a Jesuit institution, Fairfield Prep emphasizes the formation of young men who are not only academically competent but also morally grounded individuals who possess the conscience needed to make wise decisions, compassion for others, and a deep commitment to justice within a global society. The school prides itself on fostering a reflective community of faith where students grow reverently in their relationship with God and with one another.

The Student Life & Activities Operations Coordinator plays a vital role at Fairfield Prep by providing essential logistical and administrative support for a wide range of student programs. Reporting directly to the Principal, this position is instrumental in ensuring the smooth operation of student life activities, which include coordinating travel, retreats, service events, and other student programming initiatives. This role also extends administrative support to three key departments: Campus Ministry, Diversity & Community Engagement, and the McLeod Innovation Center, all of which are central to the school's mission and student development goals. The Coordinator’s responsibilities encompass managing transportation arrangements for student activities, supporting the planning and execution of retreats and liturgical events, facilitating diversity and inclusion programming, and overseeing event logistics for student life. Furthermore, the role requires maintaining organized business processes including purchase orders, invoicing, and vendor communications to support effective operations across these departments. The Student Life & Activities Operations Coordinator must be a highly organized individual with excellent communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Experience with mission-driven or faith-based organizations, particularly those aligned with Catholic and Jesuit education philosophies, is preferred. While the position is primarily based on the Fairfield, CT campus, the Coordinator may occasionally provide support for evening or extended-day events including retreats and service initiatives. This role is non-eligible for immigration assistance and embodies a dedication to nurturing an inclusive, faith-centered educational environment that supports the growth and leadership development of Fairfield Prep’s students.
