Admissions Events in 2012

Saturday, January 21, 2012, 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Scholarship Exam, Student Panel and Faculty Forum at Falmouth Academy

The Scholarship Exam, Student Panel and Faculty Forum provide a comprehensive insight into our school. First, a panel made up of one FA student from each grade answers questions about life at Falmouth Academy. Then, prospective students take the scholarship exam while our teachers make a group presentation to the parents in attendance. The top three scorers on the exam receive $2,000 scholarships toward their first year’s tuition at FA. The results of the scholarship exam have no bearing on admissions or our standard, need-based financial aid program.

We ask that you register your child in advance for the Scholarship Exam by calling the Admissions Office at 508-457-9696.
