🇨🇷 Trip of a Lifetime! 🌴Our 8th graders just returned from an absolute adventure of a lifetime in Costa Rica (May 13-22)! 🌋✨ From exploring lush rainforests, practicing Spanish, to staying at a hotel only accessible by boat, this trip was packed with unforgettable, core-memory moments around every single corner! Thank you chaperones!! 🐒🦎

📚✏️ Every day at The Franklin Academy, simple supplies make a big difference — from copier paper and classroom materials to the little things that keep learning running smoothly.

The Annual Fund helps provide these essential “behind-the-scenes” items that teachers and students rely on every single day. While they may not always be visible, these supplies are critical to supporting an excellent educational experience for our students.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure our classrooms stay stocked and our teachers have the tools they need to succeed.

Please consider making a donation to the Annual Fund today and help support the daily needs that keep The Franklin Academy thriving! 💙📖

🏃‍♀️☀️ Recess and outdoor programs are more than just a break in the day — they help students build friendships, stay active, reduce stress, and return to the classroom ready to learn. At Franklin Academy, the Annual Fund helps support safe play spaces, recess equipment, outdoor activities, and programs that encourage movement, teamwork, and joy for every child.

These everyday moments matter. A game at recess, time outside with friends, and active play all help students grow socially, emotionally, and physically.

💙 Your gift helps keep these important programs strong for our students. Support the Franklin Academy Annual Fund and donate today!

Nickerson & Barmann “Our children have truly thrived in the small classes, and they have thoroughly enjoyed the exposure to a STEM-based curriculum. They are frequently budding with excitement to share their latest artistic masterpiece, or about new words that have expanded their Spanish vocabulary. While the academic engagement has been high, our children have also made many new friendships. They are expanding their social-emotional skill set as they are able to be in school with peers and have wonderful mentors.”

Jesse Nickerson & Steph Barmann
Tung “At every grade level, my daughters have had a close-knit peer group that is academically strong and engaged in extracurricular activities. These friends are supportive of one another inside and outside of school. The school does a remarkable job of balancing academic rigor with holistic child education. Moral character development is an integral part of the curriculum. With a student body that is culturally and religiously diverse, we appreciate the universal humanistic values that are discussed in chapel and intertwined in the classroom.”

Tung M. Ha, DO & Dr. Kerri Fitzgerald
Balolia “We’ve been fortunate to have our girls attend The Franklin Academy for the last four. We briefly tried a preschool that was closer to home in Bow, but quickly realized we missed the quality, safety, and curriculum of The Franklin Academy. This solidified our decision to have our girls attend all the way through 8th grade.”

Shabir & Gabrielle Balolia
Hodges “Our kids went through 8th grade at The Franklin Academy. Looking back, it is easy to see what they gained. [They] got the academic foundation we expected (being on track for multiple Advanced Placement classes, being comfortable in Spanish two as a freshman, good grades, etc.). But the most important thing they gained by going to Franklin Academy may be the confidence they developed.”

Hart Hodges and Denise F. Dudley
Daughters Graduated from our 8th Grade
