As one who spent 6 years (7th through 12th) at this school and graduated at the #2 rank in the cadet battalion, I encourage parents to check into this for your kids. I was definitely on the wrong path in school and at home and while military boarding school was 9,000 miles from home, it was a bit of a rough start at first, but I came around and I am better for it in the long run.
Still the best possible move we could have made. Our daughter graduated as a Dive Master in Scuba and went to a great SEC college. We couldn't be happier. Our son is in Aviation and should have his license by his senior year. . . Farragut is a smaller school with a caring but firm faculty and staff and, for our situation, it's been great. Small class sizes and individualized attention were critical for their spongy brains to firm up and make good decisions..after a few poor ones. Your kids can shadow another student for the day and prepare for greatness... or at least have a really good conversation with kids that can 'Look Me In The Eye'!! Bravo AFA.
