Admiral Farragut Academy

Life is an ocean of possibilities, and fathers are often the steady captains who help their children navigate its waters with courage, wisdom, and love.

At Admiral Farragut Academy, we know that every great journey begins with strong guidance. Just as sailors rely on their compass and chart their course with purpose, fathers and father figures help shape young minds, instill character, and inspire confidence as their children set sail toward their dreams.

Thank you for being the anchors in times of uncertainty, the guiding stars in moments of doubt, and the unwavering support that helps our students navigate the seas of life with integrity and purpose.

From our Farragut family to yours, we wish all fathers fair winds and following seas this Father’s Day.

⚓ Happy Father’s Day from Admiral Farragut Academy.

We encourage all Upper School students to make reading a meaningful part of their summer. Summer reading helps strengthen critical thinking, expand vocabulary, and prepare students for a successful academic year ahead while fostering a lifelong appreciation for learning.

Each student has a required grade-level reading assignment, along with opportunities to explore additional titles that challenge, inspire, and engage. Whether you're diving into a classic novel, discovering a new favorite author, or exploring a different point of view, every book is a chance to grow.

We look forward to hearing about the books, insights, and experiences our students bring back with them this fall.

From Farragut to the U.S. Navy, and now Harvard. 🎓⚓️

When Blake L***y ’08 crossed the stage at Admiral Farragut Academy in 2008, his family proudly celebrated the beginning of an incredible journey. Four years later, they stood beside him again as he graduated from the United States Naval Academy and accepted his commission as a Navy Ensign.

Now, they have gathered once more, this time at Harvard University, to celebrate Blake earning his MBA.

Stories like Blake’s remind us that a Farragut education is more than a diploma. It is a foundation for leadership, service, achievement, and lifelong success.

Congratulations, Blake, on this remarkable accomplishment. Your journey continues to inspire the next generation of Farragut students.

Congratulations to Senior Cadet Alex Stent on receiving the prestigious Lance Corporal Andrew J. Aviles Scholarship through the Florida Boys State Program and the American Legion. 🇺🇸

Awarded during the summer before his senior year, this incredible honor provides full tuition to Florida State University and recognizes Alex’s leadership, character, and dedication to service.

We are proud to celebrate this outstanding achievement and look forward to all that lies ahead for Alex. ⚓️🎓

From Lower School leaders to future Upper School trailblazers ⚓️💙

Celebrate with us our 7th Grade Promotion and the exciting journey ahead at Admiral Farragut Academy. Congratulations to our students on this important milestone, your hard work, growth, and determination have prepared you for the next chapter.
