We have many reasons to be thankful at St. Paul’s Academy. We have terrific teachers, eager and capable students, warm and friendly families, and generous donors and friends. Together, we work tirelessly to build and strengthen our community. We are truly grateful to all of the wonderful people who help to sustain our school. Thank you! […]

“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.”

“Our family relocated to Bellingham in 2016, we discovered The Franklin Academy, shortly after that. Franklin has helped both our kids come out of their shells. Being from Trinidad and Tobago, education is very important to our family and the school has allowed the kids to grow socially and academically while constantly pushing them forward.
We appreciate the small class sizes, the caring teachers, and the diversity at the school.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
