Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important investments you will ever make, and I hope that I can play a role in providing insights on the unique aspects of Farragut.
For me personally, Admiral Farragut Academy has been a wonderful place for my son and daughter to learn and grow as students. Parents and students at Admiral Farragut Academy consistently tell me that what makes us so special is our community. It is a unique feeling hard to describe until you experience it. Here, we are a part of a caring group of faculty, staff, friends and parents. As both a boarding and day school, students in both areas benefit from the cultural diversity and become extraordinarily close. They call it the “Farragut Experience.” Whether our day students take a boarding student home for the weekend or our boarding students invite day students to visit them in their country, it is a sense of belonging that sets us apart. Students here are not afraid to try new things and their peers encourage them to do so.
If you combine this with our beautiful waterfront campus, our amazing faculty, depth of curricular offerings, and our unique opportunities like - sailing, aviation, engineering and marine science - I appeal to you to find a school that compares.
Our students benefit from academic excellence, a safe and caring environment, leadership, and social development, all taught through our military model - a model that has worked successfully for hundreds of years. Here, our students are held accountable, taught integrity, honor, self-discipline, and commitment. We strive to develop emotionally mature and resilient young men and women.
When I am out in the community at events with our students or when I hear feedback from college placement staff, I am so proud of our students and I enjoy watching our parents beam with pride in their child.
I invite you to visit our campus and see what we're all about. I look forward to meeting you.
Respectfully yours,
Robert J. Fine, Jr., Headmaster

Traditional
Information not available
Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a uni?ed curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.

Admiral Farragut Academy provides a robust college-prep curriculum complemented by hands-on experiences. Core offerings are emphasized with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Course levels include Honors, Advanced Placement, AP Capstone, and Dual Enrollment. Unique electives, such as Aviation, Scuba and Marine Science, supplement the daily curriculum. All students participate in the military component of NJROTC.
Content delivery is direct and intended to promote facility and fluency with a set of core academic skills. Students are taught baseline knowledge and theoretical knowledge first, and then challenged to apply this to real world problems. Assessment is based primarily on testing, but projects are also included in the final assessment.

Standard-enriched
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Supportive
This option allows you to "opt out" of selecting one of "rigorous" or "supportive". Doing so means you will not be shown on pages relating to academic culture, (your exposure will be diminished).
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.
