As the Dean of Enrollment and Strategic Initiatives, it is my pleasure to welcome you as you explore Franklin Academy. Choosing the right learning environment is a significant decision. Our goal is to make this process as smooth as possible. The best part of our job is getting to know you and your unique, funny, brilliant, think-outside-the-box student.
We believe that everyone deserves an education tailored to their unique strengths and needs. At Franklin we know neurodiverse students learn differently. Our inclusive 360-degree holistic approach ensures that our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Just ask our alumni who have been admitted to over 450 different colleges and universities and who are making their mark on the world using their passions and talents. Ask them too about their friends and the meaningful relationships they enjoy.
These are just a few reasons families choose Franklin:
- Strength-based, student-centered approach
- Meeting students where they are
- A focus on skill development in academics, executive functioning, social cognition, self-awareness/identity, and emotional intelligence
- A distinct college and career readiness curriculum

- Intentionally small classes
- Helping students understand their learning profile
