What sets Franklin apart is its forward-thinking nature. They don't merely follow conventional educational models; instead, they continually seek innovative methods to adapt to the evolving needs of students. It's evident that the educators here are dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals who can navigate the complexities of the modern world. They encourage innovation so that young minds can evolve into critical thinkers. One distinctive feature is the school's concept of micro-courses. Our 10th grader loves these bite-sized learning opportunities, which allow him to delve into specific subjects and explore his interests in depth. This innovative approach goes beyond traditional education, providing a dynamic space for students to discover their passions and talents. Lastly, students are not just absorbing information but actively applying their knowledge in practical ways. This hands-on approach enhances their understanding and encourages a proactive mindset. Fantastic school.
