Summer camps are important, especially this year
After a long year of lockdowns, quarantines, online learning, and fewer activities, our children are ready for more and need something to look forward to. It has been shown that children are likely to have worries, fears, anxieties, and other signs of stress since schools are operating in different ways. Many children have had fewer opportunities to be with their peers which is vital for maintaining good mental well-being. Sending your child to summer camp offers that opportunity to be with friends and get that social support.

The Importance of STEM Education
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are foundational to any formal education. The skills learned in a STEM classroom can be applied to every part of life, be it academic or otherwise.
At Admiral Farragut Academy, where engineering is a signature program, students from Kindergarten through 12th grade have the opportunity to learn valuable skills and find passions in areas that they may not have known existed — and that may not exist for years.

Because of the unprecedented times we are experiencing, the Board did not want the Headmaster position to remain vacant during Capt Fine’s absence.
