Fairview International (FIL) has completed its first full financial year as a publicly listed company - a year marked by strong operational delivery, rising student numbers, and meaningful advances in academic quality and innovation. In this special Year in Review interview, COO Dr Vincent Chian reflects on the milestones that defined 2025, from embedding professional learning communities to integrating AI across the curriculum, and why Fairview’s mission of accessible, high-quality International Baccalaureate (IB) education is resonating more than ever with parents and investors alike.
In this interview, investors will hear:
- How Fairview’s London listing has accelerated execution, strengthened governance, and sharpened internal focus across the Group
- Why discipline, transparency, and deeper investor engagement have helped elevate operational performance
- The academic drivers behind Fairview’s growth, including its top-100 global IB ranking, teacher-led professional learning communities, and integrated AI teaching model
- How proactive pastoral care and Fairview’s proprietary AAA and purpose-driven leadership programmes help sustain student wellbeing at scale
- Where Fairview sees opportunity across existing campuses and new markets in Southeast Asia and the UK, and how disciplined M&A can unlock value
