Falmouth Academy is most certainly a rigorous school. The curriculum is challenging and is well preparing for later education. The down side is the class sizes are extremely small with an average between 30-40 kids. This results in a smaller community with less people to branch out to.

Falmouth Academy will be new to me this year I am so excited about the wellness program with several offerings yoga, thi chi, and meditation. I cannot wait to be apart of the debate team in my previous school this was not an option unless you were in high school. I am so happy that I can be part of the school newspaper. Also they have an amazing inclusion program. All students will be new to this school next year so no one is the "new kid".The teachers are awesome. Nine of my previous classmates are starting there next September.

We have 2 children at FA that both started in 7th grade, 1 now a sophomore and we have a senior (class of 2020). We cannot be happier with the schools level of teaching, academics, sports and the character building quailities of Falmouth Academy!

As a parent of two Falmouth Academy graduates, one current student, and one more to come in the future I have had great opportunity to view FA up close and can enthusiastically recommend the school. FA's small class sizes and engaged teachers ensure that the "no back rows" mantra is more than just a...
