Overview
St. John Paul II High School provides young people with a comprehensive program marked by academic excellence, wide opportunities, and sincere Catholic faith.
Serving students in grades 9-12, St. John Paul II High School's community of care and concern allows students to become their best selves.
Our demands for academic rigor occur in a supportive and imaginative community
Falmouth Academy is a deliberately small school where students and adults are able to recognize the strengths and potential of each individual.
The strong culture of respect and trust created by this close-knit environment allows each member of the community to pursue academic, artistic, and extra-curricular interests with enthusiasm and self-confidence.
We hope that our students will leave Falmouth Academy with a wider perspective on the human condition and prepared to sustain a love of learning.
Signature programs include: Changing Earth, Science in the Real World, Arts Across the Curriculum, Authentic Voice, and Electives: Growth and Discovery
