“Building” Community at Marconi Beach Day

Marconi Beach Day is a beloved Falmouth Academy tradition that brings the entire school together for a spirited sand sculpture competition. In the weeks leading up to this year’s event, mixedgrade teams collaborated to design and plan their creations, with seniors stepping into leadership roles to guide and inspire their younger teammates. The result was a day filled with creativity, camaraderie, and just the right touch of friendly competition. This year’s winners impressed the judges with their imagination and execution:

1ST PLACE

Save Science – for its powerful message and thoughtful design

2ND PLACE

Jaws – for impressive scale and creative use of materials

3RD PLACE

The New York Times – for precision and attention to detail

Transformation Takes Center Stage in Metamorphoses

In May, Falmouth Academy students performed Metamorphoses by Mary Zimmerman. Adapted from Ovid’s classic poem, the play explores timeless Greek and Roman myths of love, transformation, and loss. The story was set around a shimmering pool that served as both stage and symbol. Through a series of engaging vignettes, students delivered dynamic performances that showcased both their talent and teamwork, while the creativity of the tech crew shone through a set design that added depth and atmosphere to every scene.

First FA Giving Day a Huge Success!

Our first-ever FA Giving Day on April 8, 2025 was a great success thanks to our generous community, raising $22,300 from 156 supporters. Parents and alumni represented the top giving groups, 13 gifts came from first-time donors, and 26 gifts totaling $3,420 were made via text message clicks.

“For the last few years, the school had used GivingTuesday as its Giving Day,” said Katharine Enos, Director of Development. “However, I felt strongly that, in addition to this global generosity movement, FA needed its own day of giving to better leverage our community’s loyalty.” A new fundraising platform allowed FA to run an engaging digital campaign that was mobile-friendly and accepted digital payment methods such as Venmo and Apple Pay, contributing to the success of the day.

Thank you to everyone who showed up (online) for Falmouth Academy! If you missed the fun, save the date for our next FA Giving Day on April 8, 2026.

An Island Adventure to Begin the School Year

Falmouth Academy’s ninth graders spent two nights on Penikese Island for an off-the-grid experience designed to foster teamwork, resilience, and a sense of place. Students stayed in simple farm-house style quarters, cooked together, and explored the island’s trails and shoreline. Without electricity or modern distractions, they focused on problem-solving, outdoor activities, and supporting one another.

Offered in collaboration with Penikese Island School and Gull Island Institute (headed by Justin Reynolds ’99 and Ana Kielson),

the trip gave students a chance to connect with the island’s history and natural beauty while strengthening bonds as a class. It was a memorable start to the school year and an experience that will stay with them long after their return to campus.

A Sold-Out Summer Concert with

Ryan Montbleau Band

This summer, Falmouth Academy welcomed singer-songwriter Ryan Montbleau for a sold-out concert that filled the Hermann Theater in the Simon Center for the Arts with energy and joy. Known for his heartfelt lyrics, genre-blending sound, and magnetic stage presence, Montbleau has built a devoted following over three decades of performing across the country.

The evening brought our community together around great music and a great cause. All proceeds benefited the Fund for Falmouth Academy, which

provides tuition assistance for students, supports the work of dedicated faculty, and strengthens FA’s arts and athletics programs. We’re so grateful to everyone

who came out to enjoy the show and support the school—and we echo Ryan’s sentiment: we wish he had gone to Falmouth Academy, too!

Where Science Meets Art: Making Ink from Nature

As part of FA’s Arts Across the Curriculum program, Dr. Celeste Labedz’s eleventh grade chemistry students partnered with art teacher Lucy Nelson to explore how science and art intersect. Students foraged for natural materials—oak galls, acorns, lichen, seaweed, berries, charred wood, and wild grapes—to make their own inks. In the lab, they experimented with pH by adding iron, vinegar, lemon juice, and lye crystals, documenting the resulting chemical reactions. The project will continue throughout the year as students track the lightfastness of each ink to see how well it endures over time.

FA Community Shines at Annual Mariner Day

On September 13, Falmouth Academy’s campus buzzed with Mariner pride as students, families, and community gathered for our annual Mariner Day. The event highlighted the best of FA spirit, with strong showings from varsity and middle school soccer teams and the cross country squad. Meanwhile, festivities like face painting, cotton candy, lawn games, and delicious food kept everyone smiling. The event’s success wouldn’t have been possible without the many parent and student volunteers whose energy and support brought the day to life.

Discovering Cape Cod’s Natural Classroom

Falmouth Academy’s hiking elective gives students the chance to explore the natural beauty that surrounds our campus. From beaches and marshes to the wooded trails of places like The Knob, Spohr Gardens and Beebe Woods, students connect with nature while learning about the local environment. It’s a refreshing way to get outside, breathe fresh air, and discover the landscapes that make Cape Cod unique.

Students Host Grandparents and Friends for a Day at FA

On October 10, FA welcomed nearly 135 guests to campus as part of the 34th annual—and largest ever—Grandparents & Friends Day. They attended classes, participated in All-School Meeting and had lunch with their students. Organizer Barbara Campbell, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations, said, “This is such a special day for our students as they get to show off themselves and their school. It’s fun for all and the good cheer permeates the atmosphere.” We offer special thanks to our parent volunteers who made this day so enjoyable.

Passing the Baton: A New Chapter for Falmouth Academy’s Arts Department

Falmouth Academy’s Arts Department is beginning a new chapter as longtime chair George Scharr transitions to part-time work and passes the baton to his daughter and talented music-educator, Caroline Buccino.

A graduate of the New England Conservatory, George spent decades inspiring FA students as both an educator and administrator after a career as a professional musician. Named Arts Educator of the Year by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and recipient of the Massachusetts Music Educators Association Music Advocacy Award, he has long championed the power of music to connect and uplift—sharing his warmth, talent, and countless outreach efforts to bring Falmouth Academy’s musicians into the community to perform and inspire.

Caroline, also a Conservatory graduate, joins FA as Fine Arts Chair, Music Instructor/Coordinator, and Theater Event Manager. With a background in teaching and performance, she will continue her father’s legacy while bringing new energy to the arts at FA.

Reflecting on the transition, Caroline shared, “I grew up surrounded by music—it has always been a source of joy and inspiration. Getting the chance to work with my dad has given me a new perspective. He’s not just my father, but also a remarkable teacher, mentor, and colleague.”

George echoed that sentiment, describing the experience as both meaningful and inspiring. “Passing the baton to Caroline is much more than just a transition. In the short time she has been at the helm, I’ve witnessed her bring our existing programs to a new level and introduce new ideas with a fresh perspective. Working with your grown child in a professional environment—witnessing their growth, passion, experience, and expertise—is quite a rewarding experience.”

Falmouth Academy is fortunate to have both George and Caroline sharing their talent, vision, and love of music with our community.

Rewriting the Past: A Renewed U.S. History Curriculum

At Falmouth Academy, history isn’t confined to names and dates. In recent years, the history department has revitalized its upper school curriculum, creating opportunities for students to connect the past with the present and to experience history as a living, evolving story.

“I like to think of history as themes that change over time,” explained history department chair Matt Barnes. “I try to provide a space for students to look through history and then connect it to their lives.” His approach reflects a broader shift in the department: to move beyond rote memorization and toward critical thinking, inquiry, and discovery.

This renewal is rooted in both scholarship and experience. Students engage with texts like Heather Cox Richardson’s How the South Won the Civil War while keeping in mind the class mantra: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” They also learn to evaluate sources, craft precise arguments, and present their ideas with poise—skills that carry into their senior-year Rhetoric course.

Field experiences and partnerships bring history off the page. Juniors studying the Gilded Age visited Newport, Rhode Island’s mansions, including The Breakers, to see the grandeur of the Vanderbilts firsthand. In Hyannis, students explored the legacy of the Kennedy family at the JFK Museum. Guest speakers add further dimension, from music teacher George Scharr’s lectures on the birth of jazz to Rabbi David Freelund’s discussions on antisemitism.

A hallmark of the program is the junior research paper and defense, modeled on a college seminar. Students select their own topics, conduct extensive research, and present findings to their peers, who pose questions in a formal setting. Past papers have

examined subjects as wide-ranging as U.S.–Iranian relations, antifeminism, and the evolution of American folk music. “The goal,” Barnes explained, “is to give students the confidence to take intellectual risks and to defend their ideas.”

The department also emphasizes interdisciplinary connections. English teachers coordinate with history faculty so students read The Great Gatsby alongside studies of the Roaring ’20s, or All Quiet on the Western Front while exploring World War I. Art classes reinforce the cultural landscape, with students painting local scenes in the style of the Hudson River School or analyzing the work of Jacob Lawrence and Andy Warhol.

Though the department has weathered retirements in recent years, its renewed vision reflects the school’s mission to harness the power of inspired learning in a vibrant artistic and scientific community. The result is a program that encourages students to see history not as distant, but as relevant—a story they are part of shaping.

“I hope this initiative can reach a broad audience,” Barnes said. “I’d love for alumni or community members to reach out and develop new partnerships.”

Falmouth Academy’s reimagined history curriculum invites students to approach the past with curiosity and courage, preparing them to engage thoughtfully with the challenges of their own time.

The Class of 2026: A Legacy of Connection and Resilience

When the Class of 2026 first arrived at Falmouth Academy in the fall of 2020, the world was in a state of uncertainty amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Students everywhere had spent the spring logging into lessons from home, but Falmouth Academy had made the bold decision to bring everyone back to campus full-time, in-person for the 2020–2021 school year. The result was a historic milestone: a record-breaking seventh grade class of 47 students—the largest in the school’s history.

From the start, this group stood out for its range of talents and its eagerness to engage. “They were a multitalented group with strong interests across academics, arts and athletics,” recalls Falmouth Academy Director of Admissions Sarah Knowles. “While they came from a wide variety of towns and educational backgrounds, they bonded quickly under unprecedented circumstances over the shared experience of being new to a school that valued education and curiosity.”

Even during a time of social distancing, they built community. Their strong academic momentum led to the creation of an

advanced eighth grade math class, and as soon as restrictions were lifted, they embraced every opportunity—launching clubs, joining teams, and stepping into the spotlight on stage.

Now, as seniors, the Class of 2026 continues to shape FA’s culture. They’ve reintroduced and expanded new initiatives, from tennis and sailing to The Bossi Pants a cappella group and the creative elective Make-It-Mondays. They embody one of FA’s guiding values: fostering close friendships built on trust, respect, and communication. “Even in this larger group, there is a sense of deep community and shared goals,” college counselor Ruth Slocum reflects.

As they prepare for college and beyond, the Class of 2026 carries with them not just academic readiness, but the qualities that define an FA education—empathy, curiosity, and resilience.

“They’ve learned how to debate differing opinions in a civilized way, make connections across divides, and ask for help when needed,” says Slocum. “These are skills of critical importance as this talented and diverse class heads out to build the future.”

The Heart of Falmouth Academy: Mentorship, Connection, and Community

At Falmouth Academy, mentoring isn’t just a program—it’s a way of life. It can be found in countless moments across campus: a junior goalkeeper steadying an eighth grader before a middle school match; an upperclassman helping a young actor deliver a line; seniors guiding teammates as mixed-grade groups transform sketches into sculptures on Marconi Beach. These scenes may seem fleeting, but together they reveal something essential about FA: we are a community where students learn by example, lead with purpose, and take pride in lifting one another up.

Every day, these quiet acts of guidance weave through our routines. In them, we see younger students growing through the trust and generosity of older peers—who are, in turn, becoming leaders and stewards of our shared community. Here, mentoring is an intentional practice that shapes each student’s experience, one interaction at a time.

Built by Design

Since its beginnings, FA has focused on helping students grow not only as individuals—encouraging them to build endurance and resilience—but as community members—embracing and practicing its guiding value of fostering relationships built on trust, respect, and direct communication. “This continuity of personal attention and caring and the advisor growing to understand the challenges a student faces” has always been an important component of the FA experience, according to founding faculty member Lalise Melillo.

Even still, it takes time to build this intentional culture of community. At Falmouth Academy, that begins on day one. During New Student Orientation, incoming Mariners witness firsthand positive behaviors and expectations modeled by upperclassmen. Juniors and seniors lead tours and icebreakers, showcasing their public speaking abilities as they explain the ins and outs of daily life at FA in front of a library full of new faces. Setting the tone for the year, they show younger students how to find their way around campus, keep shared spaces tidy, and feel at home in a place that values community and connection.

Engaged in and nurtured by an environment where they are known, challenged, and inspired, students are equipped to become the best version of themselves—just as FA’s founding faculty intended.

Anchored in Connection

While academics are at the core of Falmouth Academy—with a curriculum that challenges students to think deeply, critically, and creatively—community has always been at its heart. Perhaps the most frequent and consistent expression of this culture is found in the daily All-School Meeting in Morse Hall. No matter what is beckoning on the horizon—an upcoming assessment, a hungry belly, or an important game—All-School Meeting is the safe harbor that welcomes everyone to come together. Small enough to gather daily, Falmouth Academy uses this time to celebrate wins, share updates, mark birthdays, and recognize its community members—a reminder of the importance of our shared connection.

Advising and mentoring is the foundation upon which AllSchool Meeting and other emblems of community are built, having stood as core tenets of the school since its inception. While the specifics have evolved over time—including this year, with the addition of new “Mentor Meetings”—FA’s commitment to the centrality of this practice remains unwavering.

A Community Within a Community

“When I headed the advisory program in the 1990s as Dean of Students,” says history teacher Rob Wells, “the goal was to give students a ready source of guidance for navigating FA, but also for general life issues and concerns that arise from being a teenager. Having a few students with whom to try to forge close bonds and to shepherd through the FA years has always been at the heart of the role.” According to current Dean of Students Mike Deasy ’10, this model has long been a hallmark of private independent schools and remains a key attribute of FA.

When assigning advisors, students are intentionally paired with faculty members based on the individual qualities of both. This ensures maximum buy-in from the students and provides them with a single faculty advocate who has a holistic view of their academic performance. About five years ago, in an effort to better address personal growth and social-emotional well-being in addition to academic achievement, a weekly lunchtime group meeting was added, introducing a peer mentorship element to the support scaffolding.

As math teacher Doug Jones notes, “In advisory, my students have an opportunity to share with me and each other both their triumphs and their struggles. This sharing of information helps me be a better advisor and teacher for them but also allows students to understand themselves and their peers more completely.”

Above: Mike Deasy ’10 connects with upperclassmen after All-School Meeting.

Below (left to right): Math teacher Doug Jones believes that the advisory program allows him to get to know his students so he can be a better advisor and teacher; Longtime faculty member Eleanor Clark shares that mentoring offers “another layer of support, a chance for students to see each other, to listen, and to be kind”; Mentoring on the field: Elyse Sharpe ’27 warms up Katie Connelly ’30 in goal prior to a middle school game; Nathan Forcier ’31 and Sophie Gaughan ’26 practice their fight scene technique on the front lawn of Falmouth Academy for the upcoming play, The Heart of Robin Hood.

Demonstrating the success of the group approach, Jones shares that one of his advisees found a new passion for singing after deciding to take a risk and join Margaret Bossi’s a cappella group. This experience, in turn, inspired other students in his advisory to try something new as well.

English teacher Eleanor Clark shares, “Some of my favorite moments as an advisor involve simply sitting with my advisees and eating lunch. These moments slow us all down, I think, and help us get to know each other in those quiet and natural ways... I like to think that this little community within a community offers another layer of support—a chance for students to see each other, to listen, and to be kind.”

As Clark suggests, students aren’t the only benefactors here. Melillo also has fond memories of advising. “Getting to know advisees, listening closely to them, and helping with their progress is deeply rewarding for teachers, and many advisor/advisee relationships last long after the student graduates.”

Deasy also appreciates the good fortune of working with the man who was once his advisor, Rob Wells. Even now, as colleagues, he finds himself asking Wells for advice on how to approach both work and life challenges.

The Mentor Mindset: Advisory 2.0

For the 2025-2026 school year, in alignment with Head of School David Perry’s assigned summer reading, 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People by David Yeager, Deasy and Perry worked together to add a second element of student support to work in partnership with advisory.

The distinction?

The Mentor Meeting, as it’s now known, lays the foundation for a “mentor mindset”—pairing high expectations with high

support. While the advisory groups typically consist of likeminded students—again, due to the fact that students with similar individual qualities are paired with the same advisor—the Mentor Meeting groups seek to serve the entire community, integrating students across grades, experiences, interests, and perspectives. Alternating with traditional advising sessions on a biweekly basis, these mixed grade groups explore school values, focus on supporting social-emotional growth, and allow for seniors to take the lead under the watchful guidance of faculty—with the understanding that, as Deasy articulates, “leadership is less about being in charge and more about shining the light on others.”

This year, Mentor Meeting groups first took on the decades long tradition of building a sand sculpture at the annual Marconi Beach Day. They’ve now shifted to other community-centric topics and projects, including “Know Where You Are,” another of FA’s guiding values. According to Deasy, “This concept asks us to think carefully about the communities to which we belong and to behave in ways that support that community.” Thanks to Jen Chamberlain, FA’s School Counselor, those words are now displayed above the student locker area—a daily reminder that every word, action, and decision carries meaning.

While the Mentor Meetings reflect a more formalized approach to mentorship, the concept isn’t new to Falmouth Academy. As Fred Meltzer ’83 recently reminisced, “In academic, artistic, and athletic pursuits, expectations were high, but we were supported to accomplish them rather than being told implicitly or explicitly, ‘figure it out’. I am grateful that I was raised to care, and that was reinforced daily at FA.”

It’s all part of the master plan of mentoring which has been so central to FA for nearly 50 years—to facilitate reciprocal relationships built on mutual trust, commitment, and respect, from which everyone can learn and grow.

Tennis State Tournament

Falmouth Academy’s boys varsity tennis team made history last spring, completing its first official varsity season with a strong 5–5 record and a berth in the MIAA Division 4 state tournament. The program, which began as an informal effort led by former Falmouth Academy middle school coordinator and teacher Ben Parsons just a few years ago, has grown quickly into a competitive squad. In their tournament debut, the Mariners earned an impressive 5–0 win over Ipswich before falling in a hard-fought match to Cohasset.

What made the season remarkable was the team’s rapid progress: of the eight players, only two had previous tennis experience. With seven seniors and standout underclassmen returning, Coach Dana Miskell is optimistic about the future. “Our goal is to go further in the state tournament, and we definitely have the ability to do that,” he said. Competitive across Cape and Islands matchups, the team has already laid a strong foundation for the seasons ahead.

What COVID Taught Us: Five Years Later

COVID-19 officially reached Falmouth Academy during March Break in 2020. The school had already canceled its French exchange trip due to escalating worldwide health concerns, and soon after, the state ordered us to close our campus.

Serendipitously, our faculty were already transitioning to a remote learning management system—originally planned for snow days or other emergencies. This preparation meant that when the school was forced to go online, classes were able to continue with minimal disruption.

To support both academics and well-being, leadership designed a new schedule: each class met for an hour via Zoom every other day, with breaks built in to ease the anticipated mental health challenges of remote learning. Even All-School Meeting continued, drawing 225 participants online every day. Suddenly, community meant far more than simply gathering in a building.

For seniors, the closure from March through June carried particular weight. Traditions such as Senior Teaching Day, Spirit Week, the Prom, and, most notably, graduation were in jeopardy. Yet the Class of 2020 became a model of resilience. Graduation did happen—outdoors, in July, with graduates seated six feet apart.

One parent captured the spirit of the time, telling then-Head of School Matt Green:

“I was blown away as you shared details of how students are learning and thriving thanks to your dedicated team of faculty and staff. During a time when we are all questioning, struggling, concerned, etc., it was so refreshing to learn of some of the amazing learning that is happening at FA. I so appreciate your diligence and dedication in light of our current challenges.”

The next question was, inevitably: What about September?

A “September Committee” convened to chart the way forward. They reimagined everything from classroom design to hallway traffic flow. Our seminar-style Harkness tables gave way to rows of desks spaced six feet apart. Every classroom was equipped with interactive flat screens, document cameras, and high-quality microphones and speakers so teachers could teach in-person and remote students simultaneously. Hallways and stairwells became one-way, lunch shifted outdoors, and our newly installed

ventilators proved essential in circulating fresh air.

Because sports and drama were canceled, electives moved to the end of the day. Between 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m., “after school activities” became a hub for new and creative offerings that kept students engaged. And because All-School Meeting was too important to lose, a mid-day Zoom period allowed every grade to join virtually from their classrooms.

In his August 2020 opening address to faculty, Mr. Green framed the year with characteristic vision:

“I am quite confident that this particular chapter of Falmouth Academy will be the story of a community, and in particular of the collective efforts of an entire faculty, coming together in challenging circumstances to once again advance our noble mission. It’s going to require more than its share of the kind of ‘make-it-work’ moments that have characterized this school’s history, and it’s going to require a level of agility and adaptability to challenge and change that, again. But these are the hallmarks of FA.”

So, what grew out of COVID resiliency?

• Technology – The tools we adopted for hybrid learning remain central to instruction today.

• Expanded Arts Across the Curriculum – Creativity flourished, even under constraint, and many resulting programmatic changes still remain today.

• Mental Health Awareness – The importance of breaks, balance, and support became deeply embedded in school culture.

• Innovation in Tradition – From an online Science Fair with remote judging to reimagined social events, including reunions and fundraisers, we learned that tradition can bend without breaking (i.e. Re-Zoom-ions).

Five years later, the lessons remain: adaptability, creativity, and community are at the heart of Falmouth Academy.

Visits from Abroad and Closer to Home

It was so much fun to see Katka Scesnakova ’97 (top) and her son Richard when they came to Falmouth Academy for a visit in the summer. Katka still lives in Slovakia, and they were visiting with her host family, Chuck and Janet Hart in Yarmouthport. (You may notice a striking resemblance to Richard’s uncle, Jozef Scesnak ’93!) Visiting from Spain, Tony Aracil ’90 (middle) stopped in this summer with his host brother Mark Lafaver ’92 and Tony’s daughter Diana to show her some of the good old days, including shooting hoops in the gym. Their teacher Rob Wells just happened to be here when they visited and got in on the action. Sean Cummings ’00 (bottom), his wife Michele, and their 9-year-old son visited FA for the first time since graduating. It was so fun to see all of you!

O’Neill Named One to Watch in 2026

Congratulations to former Falmouth Academy trustee Sean O’Neill ’04, who was recognized as one of the 2026 Best Lawyers to watch in Boston. Sean was one of 12 attorneys included in the list from his firm, Anderson & Kreiger. He brings extensive experience in litigation, trial advocacy, and public interest law. Before joining the firm, Sean was the Executive Director of Bay State Legal Access, a non-profit law firm he founded to provide legal services to underserved communities. Sean also served on Capitol Hill as a Legislative Assistant on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and played a championship-winning curling match on the Team USA Wheelchair Curling Team.

Congrats to the Growing MacDonald Clan

Peter MacDonald ’06 and his wife Anja welcomed their fourth child recently. Stina joined her siblings Emi, Miri and Manley. Peter is Co-founder and CEO of Wunderite, which automates insurance applications for independent agents and their customers.

Summer Reunion

Kudos to classes ending in 0 and 5 for coming out in good numbers to celebrate their FA anniversaries. Together with others from the Class of 1984 through 2024 (and babies), they met in Hutker Yard in late August to share stories and help FA identify photos for the Archive.

If you have photos or other FA memorabilia you would like to scan or send for our Archive, please send them to Barbara Campbell, bcampbell@falmouthacademy.org.

Currence Now Playing for Greek Team

Professional basketball player Kendall Currence ’18 has moved on from the Newcastle Eagles in Britain to the island of Kos and team A.S. Koon Hippocrates in Greece. She remains a consistent scorer and a threat from any spot on the court. Good luck, Kendall!

From the Head of School

Dear Families and Friends,

Fall at Falmouth Academy brings more than crisp mornings and busy schedules—it brings moments when students step forward and show who they are becoming. Our seniors are modeling leadership with a balance of seriousness and joy, while our seventh graders are showing courage by standing at All-School Meeting to make announcements before nearly 200 peers and faculty. These moments tell me that our students, no matter their age, feel safe, supported, and inspired to use their voices.

This is what excites me most each fall: watching students settle into rhythms that are uniquely their own. In classrooms, they are engaging with challenging material, testing ideas, and discovering new ways of thinking. On the fields and courts, they are learning the value of teamwork and perseverance. In studios and rehearsal spaces, they are stretching their creativity and finding the courage to perform. Even at the lunch table, they are learning how to connect with one another across grades and experiences. Each of these settings provides opportunities for growth, belonging, and discovery.

At Falmouth Academy, we believe school is about more than information, it’s about transformation. Our teachers are not just instructors, they are mentors and guides who cheer, challenge, and support students as they wrestle with tough problems, take risks, and grow into their best selves. When I walk through the building, I see this mentorship everywhere: a teacher leaning over a desk to encourage a bold idea, a coach urging a team forward, a music instructor giving quiet feedback after rehearsal. These are small, daily moments, but they are what shape the larger journey.

These individual moments are celebrated in the many ways we come together as a community: in All-School Meetings, on playing fields, on stage, through service projects, and in traditions both old and new. Combined, they strengthen the fabric of belonging that makes Falmouth Academy what it is.

I sometimes think of our work here as a crew on a voyage. The teachers are the mates, imparting skills, knowledge, and habits of mind. Families provide the power—the encouragement, the stability, the values that guide. And the students themselves? They are the captains of their own journeys, learning how to navigate in both fair and rough seas. It takes all three to keep the course steady and the voyage moving ahead.

I look forward to the remainder of the year and to all the ways our students will challenge themselves, support one another, and chart their own journeys. Thank you for entrusting us with this important work.

Warmly,

Head of School

Every effort was made in this report to accurately recognize each donor’s generosity through June 30, 2025. We appreciate you bringing any errors or omissions to our attention, and apologize in advance for any oversight.

Last year, thanks to our incredible community of donors, stewards, sponsors, and volunteers, we set a record for annual giving. The Fund for Falmouth Academy raised $668,484—the largest amount in FA’s history and a 26% increase over the previous year’s already impressive record. Philanthropic investment in Falmouth Academy ensures that we can continue to provide a transformative educational experience and nurture the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators. Thank you.

Dear Falmouth Academy Alumni, Families, and Friends,

The 2024–2025 fiscal year was one of exceptional generosity and achievement for Falmouth Academy. Thanks to the steadfast support of our donors, stewards, sponsors, and volunteers, the Fund for Falmouth Academy reached new heights, raising $668,484 from 1,078 individual gifts—surpassing our goal by 39% and setting a new record for annual giving. This remarkable success affirms our community’s enduring confidence in the school’s mission.

The Fund for Falmouth Academy remains the cornerstone of our philanthropic efforts, sustaining the small classes, dedicated faculty, and engaging programs that define an FA education. Each contribution—no matter the size—strengthens the foundation upon which our students learn, lead, and thrive.

At the same time, the Forward to Fifty comprehensive campaign continues to advance in support of strategic initiatives. In its quiet phase, the campaign has secured $5.2 million in gifts and pledges toward endowment and current-use priorities: recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty, expanding tuition assistance, and enhancing facilities in preparation for our 50th anniversary in 2027—details on celebrations to come!

The following 2024–2025 Donor Impact Report celebrates the collective generosity that ensures FA’s continued excellence. As we launch the 2025–2026 Fund for Falmouth Academy, we extend our deepest gratitude for your partnership and for the confidence you place in this institution. Together, we are strengthening the legacy of Falmouth Academy for generations to come.

With sincere appreciation,

Development Chair, Board of Trustees

Katharine W. Enos Director of Development

Thank You

These numbers reflect our shared commitment to FA and the power of our combined efforts.

We remind you that while tuition funds our mission, philanthropy fuels our future.

STORIES OF IMPACT

A WiSE Investment

While reading the Fall 2019 issue of the GAM, something caught the eye of Fred Meltzer ’83. The first article, written by Emma Keeler ’19, described the origins and goals of a new student-run club taking shape. He wanted to help.

Known as WiSE (Women in Science and Engineering), the initiative grew out of Emma’s own extraordinary internships at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Recognizing that “not all girls are lucky enough to be immersed in such an empowering work environment,” Emma wanted to simulate those experiences for her Falmouth Academy peers. With support from then-faculty

Support for women in science and engineering is overdue, and examples of them in those fields are still in short supply. Let’s change that. It starts with encouraging students’ curiosity.

— Fred Meltzer ’83

member Dr. Alison Ament, WiSE was launched with the goals of providing a supportive environment for students to explore their scientific interests, empowering students of any gender to see women working in science as normative, and inspiring others to consider pursuing a career in science.

The club resonated with Fred because it represented the caring, supportive environment he experienced as a student at FA. It also demonstrated the values that he felt were reinforced daily: the importance of raising others up rather than raising oneself at others’ expense.

Today, WiSE is alive and well, offering hands-on scientific activities both within and outside of FA, welcoming a revolving slate of female scientist guest speakers, and continuing to pursue the goals originally envisioned by Emma and her WiSE cofounders. As for Emma, after graduating from FA, she has since earned her B.S. from University of Pennsylvania and is enrolled as a Microbiology Doctoral Student at Yale School of Medicine.

STORIES OF IMPACT

Coming Full Circle

In 2019, Falmouth Academy’s expanded partnership with the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole made high-level science available to our students through an immersive, residential experience. Through a 4-day CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing course, they learned microscopy techniques, manipulated zebrafish genes using cutting-edge CRISPR technology, and participated in roundtables on CRISPR, embryology, bioethics, and careers in science.

After a hiatus in 2020, the program ran again in 2021, offering limited scholarship money from FA to students with demonstrated need. As interest in the program grew among the student body, so did the need for financial support.

Enter Evan Jones ’88. His mother, Barbara Woll Jones, was both a longtime FA Trustee and a strong supporter

of the MBL until her passing in 2022. Since 2023, Evan has paid tribute to her legacy by generously meeting the demonstrated need of all FA students accepted to the program, allowing any qualified student to attend regardless of their ability to pay. His investment has done more than just send FA students to the MBL: it has expanded their understanding of science as team-based and collaborative, given them a broader picture of what a career in science or research can look like, and honored two of his mom’s passions in a most fitting way.

My mom loved getting involved with projects that furthered the education and experiences of young scientists. As a Falmouth Academy graduate, it's a wonderful feeling to support FA students in the CRISPR program and this continuing connection between FA and MBL.

— Evan Jones ’88

IT ALL ADDS UP

Summer Benefit Concert

On August 25, 2024, singer-songwriter Karla Bonoff performed to a packed house at Falmouth Academy’s annual summer benefit concert. Between ticket sales and sponsorships, the event raised over $12,000, kicking off the FY25 Fund for Falmouth Academy on a great note.

Giving Tuesday

We had a very successful GivingTuesday on December 3, 2024, raising over $52,000 for the Fund for Falmouth Academy from 80 donors. This included a $10,000 gift from an anonymous alumna, used to incentivize other alumni donors. It also reflected nearly $2,000 in employer matching gifts thanks to a new partnership with Double the Donation.

FA Giving Day

The inaugural FA Giving Day on April 8, 2025 was another success, raising $22,300 from 156 supporters. The top two donor categories were parents and alumni, and 13 gifts were from first-time donors.

Most notably, this 24-hour campaign allowed FA to introduce new digital payment options including Apple Pay, Venmo, Google Pay, and PayPal, which ultimately accounted for 53% of all gifts. We also added texting to our toolkit: 26 gifts were made via text message clicks, totaling $3,420.

PARTY WITH A PURPOSE

Annual Benefit Auction

The 2025 Auction, Where Dreams Grow, reflected our school’s sense of place, commitment to environmental sustainability, and nurturing community dedicated to fostering students’ growth. With a 2-week online auction leading up to the live benefit on May 10, we raised over $85,000 in unrestricted support for the Fund for Falmouth Academy. Thanks to all who donated items, bid, and attended! We hope you can join us next on April 25, 2026

In 1987, philanthropist Josiah K. Lilly III donated 34 acres of Beebe Woods for Falmouth Academy to build a permanent campus. The Josiah K. Lilly III Society recognizes that visionary gift and honors other like-minded donors who have chosen to make a planned or deferred gift to Falmouth Academy. These legacy gifts are extraordinarily important to our school, helping ensure that generations of future students can benefit from a Falmouth Academy education (Italics indicate bequests realized.)

Your Name Here

2024–2025 was an historic year for FA. As we look to the future, we invite you to join us as we strive to build on our success and find out what more we might accomplish, together.

Every Mariner. Every Day.

At Falmouth Academy, our greatest strength is our community—and the Fund for Falmouth Academy is the single most important way we ensure it continues to thrive.

We invite you to make an impact this year through a one-time gift or a monthly recurring donation. With your partnership, we will continue to nurture a school where students not only learn and grow but experience firsthand the power of a strong and caring community.

Join the Anchor Society for Recurring Giving

anchor noun

an·chor plural anchors

1: a device usually of metal attached to a ship or boat by a cable and cast overboard to hold it in a particular place by means of a fluke that digs into the bottom 2: a reliable or principal support : mainstay

FA’s recurring gift program, The Anchor Society, allows you to maximize your contributions and provide reliable support to the school by giving in monthly increments. These automatic deductions from your payment of choice (credit card, debit card, digital wallet, or checking account) make a sustained impact on our community in an easy, budget-friendly way.

WHY CONSIDER RECURRING GIVING? � Critical � Convenient � Secure � Efficient

“When FA offered a monthly giving option, it was a no-brainer. I was already an annual donor but I love the ability to donate on a recurring basis—and not just because it makes my life easier! FA, in many ways, is the foundation of who I am today. So to donate monthly feels like the perfect way to regularly give back to the place and people that continue to inform my behavior and life.”

— Lily Patterson
