A Renaissance approach
Falmouth Academy’s emphasis on the fine and performing arts encourages students to strive for a Renaissance approach to life which celebrates creative as well as intellectual growth. The arts at our school cross disciplines and traditional boundaries.
The entire school is a gallery of changing student exhibits featuring photography, ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, wood-working, calligraphy, and drawing with AutoCAD.
Performing arts electives include stagecraft, theatre, film, jazz, instrumental chamber music, and chorus. Actors and stagecraft designers mount three or more theatre productions annually, while student musicians from all six ensembles collaborate to present a major concert each trimester.

In addition to the numerous arts electives students take, every student participates in Arts-Across-the-Curriculum, a unique program that brings art into the academic classes.
Musical ensembles
Falmouth Academy boasts six unique music ensembles, which combine forces to present a major concert each trimester. The final concert of the year, held in early May, features seniors performing solos with their respective ensembles. The school year concludes with the Choruses and Orchestra providing music for Graduation. In the course of the year, student musicians also perform in a variety of settings in the community, sharing the joy of music with a wider audience, including our senior neighbors at the JML Care Center, Heritage at Falmouth, and the Atria-Woodbriar.

Our combined Chorus is open to students of all levels of experience and perform a wide array of music, including classical, folk, popular, and world music.
Student musicians who are members of a school ensemble are eligible to audition for local, regional, and state music festivals: Cape and Islands, Southeast District (Junior High and High School), and All-State. Participation in the festivals gives them the exhilarating opportunity to apply the skills honed in FA’s small ensembles to perform with a full concert band, symphony orchestra, or large chorus.
The members of our music faculty are all professional performers. Our Advanced Jazz and Chamber Orchestra directors are members of the Cape Symphony Orchestra; our jazz teachers perform in a wide variety of venues across the Cape; and our choral director also directs the Falmouth Chorale, the Falmouth Children’s Chorus, and the Falmouth Chamber Players Orchestra.
