Admiral Farragut Academy

Admiral Farragut Academy is a private, college-prep, coeducational, boarding and day school that serves students in Kindergarten – 12th grade. The school has a beautiful 40-acre campus with a private waterfront and is located in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida. Admiral Farragut Academy provides a college preparatory environment that promotes academic excellence, leadership skills, and social development within a diverse community of young men and women.

Admiral Farragut Academy is a special place that offers an experience like no other. Our campus and community become a home for our students as they grow up and discover their talents and passions through the guidance of our dedicated faculty and staff, the direction of our administration, and the support of the school community.

Since its opening in 1933 in Pine Beach, New Jersey, and then in 1945 in St. Petersburg, Florida, Admiral Farragut Academy has been committed to providing students with a learning environment that is physically safe and emotionally supportive, where intelligence and compassion are highly valued, and where relationships are built that can last a lifetime.

Here, students play an active role in their learning. We are a school whose wide offerings in academics, athletics, the arts, and extracurricular activities give students incredible opportunities to discover their unique gifts and talents and to develop the confidence that grows from knowing that they have something of value to contribute to others.

Farragut is blessed to have a top-notch faculty, devoted to teaching and connecting with students well beyond the classroom walls. For us, learning goes beyond the textbook, and we take advantage of our gorgeous campus on the water to go out and let our students experience for themselves many of the concepts we are teaching them.

Admiral Farragut Academy’s mission and core values form the foundation on which our students, faculty, staff, and alumni perform, educate, and conduct themselves. We use these practices every day in everything we do. Admiral Farragut Academy provides a college preparatory environment that promotes academic excellence, leadership skills, and social development within a diverse community of young men and women.
