About the program

The Farragut Afterschool Program (or FAP) has been a part of both the Scott/Ross Center and the David G. Farragut Elementary School since 2004. This student-run organization provides an opportunity for Simmons students to tutor and mentor elementary-age students at the Farragut, which is a 10 minute walk from campus. 

The program runs Monday through Friday from 3-6 in the afternoon. Tutors meet in front of the Scott/Ross Center and walk over to the school together. During the daily tutoring sessions, students are given assistance with their homework while fun and educational activities are conducted. The program creates an environment where Farragut students can grow, learn and be successful while also providing tutors with an enriching and fulfilling experience.
