Admiral Farragut Academy, St Petersburg, Florida

Locations

As both a boarding and day school, Admiral Farragut Academy students in both areas benefit from the cultural diversity and become extraordinarily close. They call it the “Farragut Experience.” Whether the day students take a boarding student home for the weekend or our boarding students invite day students to visit them in their country, it is a sense of belonging that sets us apart. Students here are not afraid to try new things and their peers encourage them to do so.

If you combine this with the beautiful waterfront campus, their amazing faculty, depth of curricular offerings, and unique opportunities like - sailing, aviation, engineering and marine science – it is hard to you to find a school that compares.

Admiral Farragut Academy students benefit from academic excellence, a safe and caring environment, leadership, and social development, all taught through the Admiral Farragut Academy military model - a model that has worked successfully for hundreds of years. Here, students are held accountable, taught integrity, honor, self-discipline, and commitment. The Academy strives to develop emotionally mature and resilient young men and women. 

Farragut is a gated community in a family-friendly neighborhood with 24/7 campus security. All campus gates are locked after 10:30 p.m. The dormitory has alarmed doors between the male and female dorms. Approximately 20 Residential Life Staff members live in their own rooms within the dormitories and monitor the dorms at all times. Additional faculty and staff live in apartments or houses, which are not located in the dorms but are on or directly next to campus.

Whether you are coming from Tasmania or Tampa to get the best college-prep education, you will love our warm, Florida campus surrounded by world-renowned beaches, action-packed attractions, beautiful state parks, amazing natural and cultural wonders, world-class golfing and fishing, and incredible dining, shopping and entertainment venues. Our boarding students are certain to have an enjoyable and memorable time both in class and off campus, no matter the season.  

The cosmopolitan city of St. Petersburg, Florida has long been known for its scenic bayfront and renowned art museums. In recent years, lively downtown St. Pete has also emerged as a hot spot for shopping, museums, dining, nightlife and entertainment. With 361 days of sun a year and a full spectrum of things to see and do, the Sunshine City (as it’s nicknamed) is one of Florida’s most exciting destinations.

One of the great rewards of a boarding school is that many of our students and faculty live where they learn or teach. We offer 5- and 7-day boarding for students in grades 8-12, though most boarders are in grades 9-12. Our boarding students comprise over 40% of our Middle and High School population. On average, our students come from over 16 U.S. states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and more than 27 countries, offering both our day and boarding students an opportunity to gain multi-cultural experiences and friends.
