Day in the Life

Farragut not only provides a military order and structure to help prepare students for college and beyond, but also a well-rounded experience with opportunities to be involved in signature academic programs and many extracurricular activities outside of the academic day.

  • Supportive environment
  • Diverse community
  • Prepared for college

From the time “Reveille” is played in the morning to when “Taps” is played in the evening, a boarding student’s life is filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and bond. Time is displayed in military time. Exact times are subject to change.

Here is an example of a Week Day Schedule:

0630 Reveille is the daily morning bugle call to wake up.

0645 – 0730 Morning formation followed by breakfast in the Mess Hall. After breakfast, boarders take medications if necessary and go back to their rooms to make their bed, fold their clothes, sweep the floor, take out the trash, clean the bathroom, etc. Daily Room Inspection occurs while the boarders are attending school.

0715 – 0745 Morning tutorial is offered every day for thirty minutes before school starts by all faculty members in their classroom.

0730 – 0745 Laundry drop-off and pick-up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

0745 – 0840 Dorms are locked for the academic day and students report to their first class. The Upper School follows seven types of rotating schedules lettered “A” through “G” so each day is somewhat different.

0845 – 0900 The regimental staff gets the entire Upper School in line for Morning Formation on the East Grinder to check uniforms and share the POD (Plan of the Day). Note: On the “G” day schedule, which is typically Monday, school starts at 0800 and the Upper School has Morning Formation and Drill from 0845 – 0935 which includes sharing the POD, parade practice, or attending special character education seminars.

0905 – 1450 The school day resumes. Every student will take a course load contingent upon their specific curriculum which may include honors, advanced placement, and dual enrollment courses. They may also choose to enroll in any of the boarding school’s signature programs including Aviation, Marine Science, Naval Science, Engineering, and Scuba. Lunch is from 1100 – 1300 each day.

1450 – 1530 Afternoon tutorial is offered every day for thirty minutes after school ends by all faculty members in their classroom.

1600 – 1700 Boarding students participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics, band, drill, the waterfront, intramurals, and the arts.

1600 – 1700 Boarding students not involved in extracurriculars are required to be out of the dormitories and are encouraged to be active outside, ie: jogging the track, playing basketball, etc.

1730 – 1830 Dinner is served in the Mess Hall. A full kitchen staff with professional culinary backgrounds prepare fresh meals each day.

1850 First call for CQ (Call to Quarters) which means all boarders need to report back to the dorms in Farragut Hall and prepare for study hall.

1900 – 2030 First period study hall begins. Boarders needing assistance to improve their grades or who are falling behind in their work are supervised by a faculty or staff member in a classroom or in the Student Center. Other students are required to work at his or her individual desk in their dorm room or often join study hall in the Student Center.

2030 – 2100 Uniform preparation for the next day.

2100 – 2120 Boarders pick up their mail and/or take their medication.

2145 – 2150 CQ for students to report to their dorm rooms.

2200 Taps is is the daily evening bugle call to end the day. Boarders are required to fall out and stand at attention outside their dorm room until everyone is accounted for.

2200 Main dorm room lights must be turned off, however boarders may study quietly at their desks with the desk light on.
