The Boarding School Experience

At Farragut, our prep school boarding students work hard to be successful and it shows, with our students 100% college accepted. Not only do they benefit from faculty with decades of experience in their respective fields, but they also get to choose from signature programs that separate Farragut from other boarding schools.

Boarding schools are the better life preparation path from high school, college, career, and beyond. At boarding school, students have the opportunity to study and live with students and teachers who share their passion to learn and grow in a fun environment. Boarding students have the opportunity to try many activities or fine-tune a passion with plenty of support.

The Boarding School Difference

Now more than ever, parents are trying to balance the desire for their child’s happiness with the reality that education and the workplace are becoming more competitive. Preparing young people for happy, fulfilling lives is the mission of any boarding school. In this uniquely structured residential environment, students benefit from an individualized support system of teachers, college placement advisors, dorm parents, counselors and coaches—all focused on the development of the whole person. With the support of the parents, boarding schools challenge students to thrive through exploration, engagement, and empathy.

Confident for College

Every year our graduates earn over $10 million in academic and athletic scholarships and attend universities like Stanford, Miami, and UCLA. Farragut students are 100% college accepted. Our students also have opportunities to receive nominations to the Naval Academy and Air Force Academy. Our boarding students are ready for college because they have lived in a culturally diverse environment and become independent by being away from home.

Discover St. Petersburg, Florida

Farragut is situated on the waterfront in one of the most picturesque places you will ever find. St. Pete Beach — which is minutes away by car or bicycle — is routinely ranked by travel magazines and websites as one of the top vacation spots in the United States. Having a campus with a waterfront with sailboats, paddleboards, kayaks, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, an outdoor pool, weight room, tennis courts, and athletic fields gives boarders a plethora of fun opportunities to choose from.

The Farragut Experience is unforgettable and the lessons learned are instrumental in their success today.

Learn to Lead

Another unique aspect of Farragut is the way our students thrive in the prep school structured atmosphere. They understand that you have to listen to learn and follow to lead.

Work Hard, but Relax Too

Our students take pride in their prep school academic standing, but they also know how to be well-rounded. The spacious dorm rooms shared by one or two others allow boarding students to unwind after a busy day of school and extracurricular activities.

Delicious & Healthy Meal Options

A home away from home wouldn’t be complete without home-cooked meals. With a dining staff professionally trained in culinary – breakfast, lunch and dinner can’t be topped. Omelets prepared the way you like. A salad bar with an endless selection of toppings. Themed dinners like roll-your-own sushi nights. An assortment of different desserts each day of the week. We ensure you’ll always find something you’ll like.

Friends and Faculty Who Become Family

When we ask our students to describe Farragut in one word, many say “family” and it’s true. Classmates are also study partners, roommates, hallmates, and best friends. Boarding students often go home with day students, and day students are found on campus after school hours. Since our students come from all over the world, sharing cultures and languages is prominent around campus.
