Ben Franklin Elementary School is known for it’s small, close-knit family environment. This year the family grew when the school went global with the addition of a new Chinese Immersion program. The immersion program is offered this year to kindergarten students. Each year another grade level will be added as students progress through their elementary education.
Going global won’t hurt the strong sense of community that’s been a part of Franklin for years. Franklin parents and grandparents are involved in their children’s school. They volunteer for many school activities and events including the Franklin carnival, Franklin Publishing Center, and the annual talent show. On-site childcare and the YMCA after-school program provide safe, structured extended-day activities for Franklin students.
The Ben Franklin Patriots hold true to the Patriot Pledge: I will be respectful, responsible, and reliable.
