Thank you for your interest in Falmouth Academy. We look to engage with you virtually as the school is monitoring the COVID-19 virus situation and will continue to follow the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.

Please watch our virtual tour below and fill out an inquiry form to be sent a viewbook and additional information. There will be select days designated for individual tours when students are not in the building. Please contact the Admission Office for more information.

Academic Overview
Falmouth Academy is a college preparatory, independent day school for students in grades 7 through 12.
At Falmouth Academy, we value balance: our students learn to work attentively and to play with enthusiasm. They practice a Haydn concerto with the same effort they put into writing an essay. They exercise their bodies on the sports fields as they exercise their minds in the classroom. They take advantage of new opportunities and challenges wherever they’re offered.
The course of instruction is rigorous, with a concentration on writing, close reading, research, and effective time management. Cooperative learning and independent research are central to the curriculum.
Each student is required to take English, history, science, mathematics, and a foreign language every year. Through our innovative Signature Program known as The Fourth Period, students also take up to four elective courses each year.Virtual School Tour
“We chose Falmouth Academy for our children because we value small classrooms that encourage discussion, a sense of community, participation in a diverse range of fine arts and athletics, and teachers who become mentors.”
- Jen and Greg Russell, Mattapoisett
