Falmouth Lake Forest HS/ Lake Forest, Il From the Director of Admissions - Mike Earley Falmouth Academy: A small school that will make your world bigger. My grandfather was a hearty defender of personal choice. Whenever two people differed in their opinions or preferences, he liked to say, “That’s why Baskin-Robbins makes 31 flavors.” Of course, when not ordering an ice cream, it is possible to take a position that is simply wrong. Even so, I’ve encountered many situations in which Pop’s philosophy applied, including as I looked over the list of new Falmouth Academy students for next year. We are thrilled to welcome these students and their families to our school community because they come from such a rich variety of backgrounds and because we know that each one of them will become part of us in his or her own way. You will see students from 27 different school environments (not quite equal to Baskin-Robbins!) including public schools, public charter schools, independent schools, parochial schools, Montessori schools, Waldorf schools, and homeschooling. These students come from most of the towns in our area, but also from Chicago, Bermuda, and Germany. Our four students from China will return next year, as well. And, as anyone familiar with Falmouth Academy knows, our kids from all over Southeastern Massachusetts bring their own unique threads to the tapestry. Fundamentally, Falmouth Academy offers its students an intellectual experience. This must entail encountering ideas different from those we already have and trying to make sense of them. Our community has always been enriched by a remarkable variety of experiences and backgrounds. This small school makes our world bigger every year. In September, the admissions season begins again, as we start the process of enrolling new students for 2014-15. It may horrify some readers to know that the students who enroll in the 7th grade for that year will graduate from FA in 2020! If you know a family who might be interested in learning more about the school, please contact me now so that we can send application materials in September. You can also encourage them to submit the information request form on the Admissions page of our web site. Families wishing to learn more about our school may want to request a copy of the DVD we produced this spring, or they may like to visit the new Results Matter section of our web site under “About FA” to see the end results of a Falmouth Academy education. Sarah Knowles and I will be in the office this summer if any of you would like to talk about the coming admission season. With everyone’s help, we expect next year to be as successful as this one. I hope you all have a good summer. We have plenty of great ice cream shops in Falmouth, so don’t go looking for a Baskin- Robbins. But enjoy whatever flavor you please! 16
