Dear Parents,
We had a great trip to the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and School of Mines Geology Museum this week. It was a great learning experience for students and fit in very well with the sixth grade unit on renewable energy. On Thursday, May 30, all middle school students will be going to Redstone Park for Field Day. Please use the registration form link below to sign up your student. |

Mission: Our mission is to develop young adults with character like America's founding Renaissance man, Benjamin Franklin: well-read, scientifically curious, and civically engaged.
Vision: Our students will excel academically through a challenging, sequenced curriculum that emphasizes math, science, and literacy. We will be a data driven institution, focusing on individual students. Our students, teachers, parents, staff, and leaders will be held accountable for the success of our school. Finally, we recognize that an education is incomplete without fostering the arts, sports, nature, and character.
Ben Franklin Academy's 13 Virtues: Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Purity and Humility.
