Our child went to Franklin for all 6 years; Kindergarten through 5th grade. She was in the Mandarin program with little home exposure to Mandarin. We found the school excellent, the teachers caring and supportive but also hard. They helped the kids learn how to work hard, be consistent, and responsible for themselves. Our child never experienced any bullying but I knew if it ever happened the administrators would take action. The teachers, staff, and counselor support kindness and caring attention to students and others first and foremost and it shows in the respectful, caring person she has become. The experience at Franklin is exemplary, and we chose private school for middle school because no other school could measure up to Franklin's experience. Our child's learning and dedication were impressive to watch. Our child went from struggling to read and joining the English club to devouring 500 page books by the end of her tenure with Franklin. We are thankful every day for the opportunity to experience Franklin and will continue to support the school and community.
