Falmouth Academy
Falmouth Academy (FA) is a non-profit, coed, private college-preparatory school for day students in grades 7–12 located in Falmouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod.
Falmouth Academy was founded in 1977 as a small and rigorously academic day school. Its first classes were held in the basement of a retirement home; two years later, FA moved to another rental property on the Massachusetts Military Reservation in Bourne, Massachusetts. In 1985, Josiah K. Lilly III gave Falmouth Academy next to prime conservation land, nearer to the town center and between Falmouth centers for medicine and the arts. Four years later, the school moved into the new 16-classroom building in time for the opening of the 1989–1990 school year. Since then, the building has undergone two significant renovations. The first, in 1997, added a gymnasium to accommodate its sports teams. The second was a three-story, addition in 2006 that included science labs, art rooms, offices, a computer lab, and a library named in honor of its fifth headmaster, Bruce E. Buxton, and his wife, Patrice. Mr. Buxton served as headmaster from 1982 through 2005; the role is now held by David C. Faus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://falmouthacademy.org/index.php/about/history/ )〕
== Academics ==
Falmouth Academy defines itself as a reading and writing school, but students also enjoy a diverse curriculum that includes mathematics, science, and the arts. Its core curriculum requires each student to take English, history, science, mathematics, and a foreign language for at least five years out of six. There is also a strong focus on the skills of writing, close reading, research, and effective management of time. Cooperative learning and independent research are also central to the curriculum. Students may take up to four elective courses each year, as well as physical education, in addition to their core academic courses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://falmouthacademy.org/index.php/academics/introduction )〕
The average class size is twelve students and a majority of its graduates go on to highly-competitive colleges. Falmouth Academy also enjoys membership in the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE). It has been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://falmouthacademy.org/index.php/about/fa_by_the_numbers/ )〕
