Upper School Curriculum

Every student learns differently—and we embrace that. At Farragut, success isn’t just about academic awards or certificates—it’s about cultivating the confidence and skills students carry with them for life. Our tiered academic program meets each learner right where they are and inspires them to stretch further. Whether through college-prep courses, accelerated honors classes, Advanced Placement options, or dual enrollment with universities, we support and challenge students at every stage.
From mastering foundational skills to diving into college-level material, our approach ensures every student feels confident, capable, and motivated to succeed.

Our students don’t just study science and technology—they live it. From robotics and engineering design to aviation, naval science, and SCUBA, students connect classroom learning to real-world applications. They conduct research, tackle problem-solving projects, and learn to think critically in high-pressure situations—all while discovering passions that can shape their future careers.

A well-rounded education means making room for creativity. At Farragut, the arts are alive and vibrant, giving students outlets for expression, empathy, and collaboration. From drama productions to fine arts showcases, students discover their voices, share their perspectives, and learn the joy of working together to create something meaningful.
