We are only as successful as the community in which we are located allows us to be, and we are fortunate to be the Falmouth Public Schools! We are an essential part of a community that values its schools and celebrates its students as tomorrow's citizens and leaders. Nurturing those partnerships to sustain a safe and supportive culture is vital to student and family success.

Woods Hole and Greater Falmouth Partnership

Falmouth Public Schools and the professionals in Woods Hole and the broader scientific and research communities are partnering to enrich and extend learning in and across disciplines. Our intent is genuine, and our vision is ambitious. Through this partnership, Falmouth Public Schools intends to create more hands-on learning opportunities both within our lab investigations in the classroom as well as by turning Falmouth coastlines and other habitats into our living classrooms. 

Through our shared, focused, and collaborative efforts, our partnership aims to increase students’ awareness of the range of programs, careers, and continued learning needed to thrive within this community, engage with the global community, and understand their influence on their world. We formed this partnership to create curricular convergence for the success of all Falmouth students.

Professional development opportunities are continuing to be offered to all faculty across the district to ensure that faculty are equipped and well-trained to employ strategies for outdoor learning.
