The staff, families, and community have demonstrated significant support and confidence in our school. The values and traditions that we share include appreciation of knowledge and thinking skills, the importance of literacy and empowered learners, collegiality and team work, responsible citizenship and the importance of the role of the family in child growth and development. We are proud of our many achievements and of the high quality educational program offered at Farragut School. Our instructional program supports problem solving, critical thinking, and understanding of our individual differences through cooperative learning, individualized instruction, team-teaching, peer/cross-age tutoring and technology. Development of values and attitudes to promote positive self-esteem, along with the acceptance and understanding of others, continues to be part of the total educational program.
