Admiral Farragut Academy

Admiral Farragut Academy is a co-educational, boarding and day college-preparatory military school serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.  The boarding program provides optional 5 or 7 day boarding for students in grades 6 through 12. Students are divided into three divisions (Upper, Middle, and Lower), each with different academic objectives. Military exposure is given in grades 6-8, or the Middle Division. The Lower Division is self-contained and structured, and has no military emphasis. The Upper Division cadets go through science laboratory, foreign language, and high standards in English.

Being located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, it enjoys good weather most of the year. Both five-day and seven-day boarding are available. Facilities include dormitories, separated by gender and age group, round the clock faculty supervision, a bathroom in every dorm room, and a fourteen bed infirmary in case of illness. Boarders interact with a wide range of peers from all over the country and the world, giving them cultural experiences they would not have gained in their home towns. Furthermore, boarding students are offered weekly excursions in area theme parks, weekend movie nights on campus, cultural and sporting events, as well as trips to local beaches and malls.

Admiral Farragut Academy has a proud tradition of 100% college acceptance, and a full time college placement and guidance officer assists cadets with college applications, college visits and scholarship applications.
