Educational Philosophy

At Farragut, academics are more than classes—they are bold adventures in learning. From kindergarten through senior year, students explore ideas with curiosity and confidence: third graders map the world, eighth graders launch kites they’ve designed, and high schoolers code robots and tackle advanced research. Across every grade, small classes ensure each student is known, supported, and challenged to reach their highest potential.

What sets a Farragut education apart?

Personalized Learning

We meet students where they are and guide them forward—nurturing curiosity, wisdom, skills, and purpose.

Expert Faculty

Passionate teachers are the heart of our program. Many hold advanced degrees, and all are devoted to unlocking the potential of every child.

Unmatched Support

From Lower School reading programs to Upper School academic advising, students receive one-on-one guidance that builds confidence and resilience.

Innovative Curriculum

Whether mastering the fundamentals, exploring STEM, or excelling in honors and AP, students are challenged to think critically, imagine boldly, and prepare for success in college and beyond.
A Farragut education forms not only scholars but whole persons—
ready to thrive, lead, and live with purpose.

I learned the sense of community, the balance between a rigid setting and a place of togetherness. It is a place where if you want to be pushed to your potential, you can make incredible strides.
