Succeeding at Franklin

Franklin Academy’s academic model focuses on both content mastery and skill development. In every class, students are working on the fundamental literacy skills to not just understand text, but to actually draw deeper meaning and connections. Our classrooms are designed to be strategy and strength-based. We 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 reading, 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 reading benefit from additional support through Franklin Academy’s Academic Development Center. Students can take a reading development course, receive individualized reading instruction, and then work with faculty on generalizing the skills learned to various academic courses. The Academic Development Center Coordinator collaborates 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.
