About Falmouth Academy
FA and Me
Tony ‘09
“The teachers stimulate my interest in learning, and the general community is always present to support and further fuel that interest; interest alone, however, does not suffice. In-depth opportunities in many fields and the social climate come together to form an intellectual atmosphere that is the perfect medium for self-development.”
Max Mann ‘08
“Colleges look at an applicant’s readiness as much as they look at test scores. My science classes prepared me to think and gave me the tools I needed to enter MIT. At FA we have freedom, trust and respect from our teachers, and we can’t help but act as adults.”
Dr. Audrey Meyer, Science and Math Teacher
“Because FA is a small school, teachers have the opportunity to work with students at several points in their academic career. It’s cool to get to know students as seventh graders and teach them again when they are older. We can watch them grow intellectually and take even greater pride in their successes.”
Harly ’11
“I like the people at Falmouth Academy. Everyone has the goal of working hard, but we all have different interests. I feel like people support me, and I support them.”
Peter Conzett, Science Teacher
“When you do things at Falmouth Academy that are creative, it’s not only encouraged but celebrated. Our students are accepting of a different style of learning and theyare up to the challenge of non-traditional teaching.”
Grace ’10
“I really like my teacher and classmates; I’ve made good friends here. Because I can call my teachers at home when I have questions, I know I’ll always get the attention I need.”
GianPaula ’12
“Teachers know your strengths and weaknesses and know how to help you do your best. I never used to like reading and writing, and now writing is my favorite hobby; I do it for fun!”
Ben Parsons, French Teacher and Coach
“Our sense of community here keeps me completely invested in Falmouth Academy. I’m on the financial aid committee, and that experience helps me understand the sacrifice FA families make. With each new member we add, we become stronger.”
Christian ’13
“I like the small classes at FA because teachers call on you a lot. They listen to you and talk with you. The same is true in sports; our coaches make playing on a team fun. We don’t have to win every game, but we do have to enjoy playing.”
Logan ’10
“FA is a haven; you don’t have to struggle to fit in. We learn how to work well with others and form strong relationships with teachers and classmates. As Student Council president, I trust students and they trust me. I never feel isolated from my peers.”
Maddy ’12
“I love my one-on-one connections with teachers. They give us a lot of challenges, but they are good challenges. FA isn’t all about the academics; electives are also important. I like jazz band, ceramics and the literary magazine, where I get to read what my classmates write.”
Max ’09
“A ‘huge’ class at FA is 12-15 students, so we all get to know each other very well. I like that we get to know our teachers inside and outside the classroom because they are active in our community outside FA. I hope to major in art when I go to college, and I really like working with Mrs. [Margaret] Ellsworth in FA’s great art facilities.”
Richard Sperduto, Teacher and Director of Buildings and Grounds
“I appreciate that Falmouth Academy recognizes and capitalizes on individual interests by supporting those interests. The school sees potential in everyone.”
