Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make in life. Farragut’s Admissions Associates will help guide your family through the process with individualized attention in a relaxed atmosphere.
Choosing the Right Fit
Applicants must have a proven academic record, a strong work ethic, a desire to excel, and a commitment to our core values. We will only accept applicants who are willing to become a member of the Regiment of Cadets. We are a school built to lead with students who are motivated to do the same. While we are founded on a military tradition, we are not an institution equipped to accommodate students with any behavior problems.
The Admissions Process
The admissions process begins with an online application. Once the application and fee have been submitted one of our Admissions Associates will work with you and your child to complete and prep the file for the Admissions Committee review. Approximately 90% of applicants are offered a letter of acceptance.
