Our demands for academic rigor occur in a supportive and imaginative community
Falmouth Academy is a deliberately small school where students and adults are able to recognize the strengths and potential of each individual.
The strong culture of respect and trust created by this close-knit environment allows each member of the community to pursue academic, artistic, and extra-curricular interests with enthusiasm and self-confidence.
We hope that our students will leave Falmouth Academy with a wider perspective on the human condition and prepared to sustain a love of learning.

School Notes
Falmouth Academy is guided by teachers who believe that
students willing to work hard can meet the demands of a challenging
core curriculum that explores English, history, science,
mathematics, foreign language and the arts.
Our demands for academic rigor occur in a supportive and
imaginative community. Because Falmouth Academy is a deliberately
small school, students and adults are able to recognize the
strengths and potential of each individual. The strong culture of
respect and trust created by this close-knit environment allows
each member of the community to pursue academic, artistic, and
extra-curricular interests with enthusiasm and self-confidence.
While we expect students to work hard, our school culture also
encourages them to be appreciative and generous. We hope that our
students will leave Falmouth Academy with a wider perspective on
the human condition and prepared to sustain a love of learning. We
also hope that they will have the courage to live thoughtful and
principled lives.
The school has partner schools in France and Germany and
benefits from its proximity to the international science community
of Woods Hole.
