Farragut: A Legacy of Leadership, A Future of Purpose

For over 90 years, Admiral Farragut Academy has been a school that dares to do more—preparing young men and women not just for academic success, but for lives of meaning, leadership, and service. Founded as a junior naval academy, Farragut built its reputation on strength of character, courage in action, and a commitment to integrity. Today, while we have grown into a dynamic, coeducational college preparatory school, those founding values remain at the core of who we are.

Bold Minds. Noble Hearts. Great Purpose.

At Admiral Farragut Academy, a world-class K-12 prep and boarding school with students from over 30 countries, we create a transformational journey of academic excellence and personal growth for each student.

Since 1933, we’ve been a home for bold minds, offering a dynamic academic experience that challenges students to think critically, live courageously, and lead with compassion. Yes, we have all the hallmarks of a premier prep school, like small classes, the latest technology, and an outstanding curriculum. But what truly sets Farragut apart is our diverse, international community and a faculty that guides students personally and professionally as they discover their place in a world that needs ethical visionaries with noble hearts who live and lead with great purpose.

Learning and leadership experiences extend well beyond the classroom. On and around our stunning waterfront campus, students discover their purpose as they learn to sail, build robots, scuba dive, serve the community, or pilot planes. Whether they set their sights on a future in government, education, technology, medicine and law, or even outer space, our graduates are ready to lead lives of service and greatness.
