Succeeding at Franklin

Franklin Academy’s academic model focuses on both content mastery and skill development. In every class, students are working on writing skills in all disciplinary areas. Whether students are writing a research paper or lab report, our classrooms are designed to be strategy and strength-based. Instructors consistently differentiate instruction and assignments to support individual student needs so they can meet and then exceed grade-based norms. If students demonstrate needs in writing, they may be referred to Franklin Academy’s Evaluation Center to conduct a more thorough assessment of student strengths and areas of need.

Students with difficulties in writing can benefit from additional support through Franklin Academy’s Academic Development Center. Students can take a literacy development course to develop compensatory strategies needed to write essays, summary reports, long papers, or reading response questions. This can be supplemented, too, with individualized writing instruction. The Academic Development Center Coordinator will collaborate with classroom teachers to ensure student instruction aligns with their developmental needs and postsecondary goals. While many schools charge extra fees for additional services, students receive unlimited support in our Academic Development Center as part of Franklin’s tuition.
