The Franklin School of Innovation has been a good fit for both my kids. The teachers and administration have been great. FSI focuses on a more hands on approach, rather then learning straight from books. With smaller classes at Franklin, the teachers are able to get the students more involved and interactive. I’m glad we found FSI!
These are awesome people that make this awesome school! Our experience here has been fantastic. The teachers are excellent, and my daughter is excelling.
The FSI community is designed for kids to be super-engaged with their peers, teachers, and over-all learning experience. My kids have been at Franklin for five years. The teachers are thoughtful and amazing!
