Fairbridge Farm Schools was a philanthropic organization that gave British orphans a chance to grow up in Canada, New Zealand or Australia. Here, they would receive a proper education, with emphasis on manual arts and agriculture. This training would help them earn a decent living as farmers.

The Canadian Fairbridge School was opened near Duncan BC in 1935.
In 1949, the Fairbridge Society closed all its farm schools.

  • How anyone could have this website stating they gave British orphans a chance to grow up with a proper education is a terrible sin. Just look at other information of abuse, and not giving children the necessities of life to grow up strong and loved. Terrible website. Read Margaret Humphreys book Oranges and Sunshine
