Location and Facilities Farr Academy is located near Mass. Ave. Arrangements with Cambridge include full access to library and outdoor athletic facilities. At Farr Academy we view aggression as positive energy that when appropriately channeled can be an important factor in insuring success in one's endeavors. We believe that successful experiences, education, counseling and a supportive therapeutic environment can facilitate the channeling of this energy into constructive, appropriate experiences. Since its opening, Farr has graduated 108 students from its high school program and returned 49 students to their respective community high schools.
