Overview
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.
Cape Cod Academy's mission is the pursuit of academic excellence and the development of life skills in a safe, values-centered community.
