The Latest from L'Etoile

Dear Franklin Academy Families,

We hope you had a joyful and restful holiday season. As we begin 2025, we want to wish you and your family a Happy New Year filled with happiness and success.

We are excited to welcome everyone back to Franklin Academy as we start a new quarter. We hope the break allowed for rest and time with loved ones. School will resume on Tuesday, January 7th, and we are eager to begin this new chapter of growth, learning, and opportunity for all of our students.

Our staff is ready to support your child’s success, and we encourage you to stay involved in their education. Attend events, reach out to teachers with any questions, and continue to be an active part of our school community.

We look forward to a year full of achievement and memorable moments for all.

Warm regards,
Mrs. L'Etoile

IB Five Year Evaluation- Parent Questionnaire

Franklin Academy is in the evaluation phase for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program.

In order to maintain our status as an IB World School, we are required to complete a “self-study” every five years. One of the requirements of the IB Review is to involve all stakeholders (parents, students, teachers, administrators) in reflecting on the practices and standards of our IB diploma programme.

We encourage parents to be a part of the self-study process. Please complete the IB questionnaire using the link below. We look forward to your feedback.
