I’ve been a Franklin for six years and it has been a great experience to learn and build my education. Being around peers who also help and you will build friendships with students who want to graduate and go to college and become something in life . I wouldn’t change anything about franklin because they strive rob make students citizens not tomorrow and I feel that this school deserves any student that want to reach their goals because franklin military academy will get you in that direction of confidence and respect. They influence u and persuade you to be a better person so you can get an education most kids want. I am proud to say I go to franklin and I will be graduating from franklin with my head up high and peers and friends cheering me on.

FMA is a mirage in the desert, only it's real. I am extremely grateful that my children had this resource available to them. The staff is amazing. The students are respectful or held accountable; the bar to be at least a good citizen is held high.
If you are seeking a structure development for your child this is the place to be. At Franklin, they possess leadership capabilities for any and every student that comes here.
