Franklin Academy is a school with a distinctive mission.

We believe that by concentrating solely on the NLD/AS population, we can deliver a sharply focused program that successfully serves students who possess similar strengths, share common interests, and face comparable challenges.

We believe that the physical and psychological safety of every student is an absolute prerequisite for academic learning and personal growth.

We believe that the fundamentals for a healthy school community include a set of mutual values, positive friendships with classmates, close relationships with teachers, and a working partnership between home and school.

We believe that the best opportunity for social development is a boarding school environment that provides a round-the-clock venue for learning and living.

We believe that real learning, offering solid preparation for college, career, and adult life, emphasizes the mastery of vital competencies, including academic, social, emotional, and life skills.

Finally, and most importantly, we believe that our students possess tremendous potential. They are creative and talented. Transformed by their experiences at Franklin Academy and now believing in themselves, our graduates are eager to move out into the world.
