Authentic Voice
Develop your voice
Words give expression to ideas—they are powerful tools. Words can foment revolution or create peace. They explain everything and sometimes fail us.
From the moment they arrive until the day they graduate, our students are guided to develop their authentic voices. Writing and speaking are at the center of daily learning. By the time they are seniors, our students are prepared to write college essays that don’t sound canned, craft peer recommendations that pierce the heart, and present 45-minute lectures on topics of their own choosing. At graduation, each senior rises and offers a public tribute to a fellow classmate.
When they depart for college, Falmouth Academy graduates own a writing process that they have honed, know how to participate meaningfully in seminar discussions, and confidently engage their professors inside and outside of the classroom.
