Franklin School

Franklin School is a visionary new high school where students have the freedom to chart their own course through an innovative curriculum where academic excellence meets real-world readiness.&nbsp;Franklin&rsquo;s innovative hands-on curriculum empowers students to pursue their passions and have agency over their futures. In addition to a rigorous core curriculum, students can choose from a wide range of AP and elective classes, as well as micro-courses taught by industry leaders. Franklin emphasizes applied learning &mdash; learning by doing both within and beyond the classroom. Much of what students &ldquo;do&rdquo; will be driven by their own interests and where they want to go on their educational journey. Franklin&rsquo;s makerspace houses design and technology courses and serves as an inspiring hub where students can apply their learning and innovate. It&rsquo;s also home to the School&rsquo;s incubator &mdash; Franklin Student Ventures &mdash; where students can bring their ideas for new businesses and nonprofits to fruition. During that process, they gain entrepreneurial skills, which are invaluable as technology and the working world continue to change at a furious pace. A Franklin four-year journey also includes built-in academic support, skills curriculum, and communication training; built-in SAT/ACT prep; expert college counseling; access to state-of-the-art athletic facilities; personalized internships; and more.
