Falmouth Academy will host an Admissions Open House on Saturday, May 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. for families interested in learning more about the school.

Falmouth Academy is an academically rigorous, independent day school for college-bound students in grades 7 through 12. Visitors to the open house will learn why Falmouth Academy is a school with no back rows and how a philosophy of active engagement by all students determines not only the layout of the classrooms but, more importantly, the way students learn.

Falmouth Academy students, teachers and parents will be on hand to discuss their experiences at the school.

Prospective families will also have the opportunity to view the school’s spring art show, which highlights student work in painting, drawing, photography, ceramics, sculpture and woodworking.

A van will pick up Vineyard families at 2 p.m. in Woods Hole and return them in time for the 5 p.m. ferry. For those interested in staying longer, Falmouth Academy’s drama department will present its spring play, Treasure Island.
