A Year of Blessings and Growth
With Franklin Classical School
It is not often that a school experiences a genuine "blast off" in both student enrollment and community giving simultaneously. Yet, looking back at this past year at Franklin Classical School, "tremendous" is the only word that truly captures what we have collectively experienced. We have reached record enrollment, a historic milestone matched step-for-step by the incredible, humbling, and overwhelming generosity of our supporting community. What becomes increasingly clear through this season of historic growth is that Franklin Classical is, at its core, deeply committed to community. We value strong partnerships with our families and believe that listening thoughtfully to parents is an important part of that commitment. At the same time, we remain guided by our mission, educational philosophy, and commitment to excellence.
This success belongs entirely to the wider FCS family. We have watched our community come together in an unprecedented wave of support. Alumni, grandparents, parents, and even our own students have pitched in enthusiastically, proving that the vital vision of a Christ-centered, classical education resonates across multiple generations. Our exceptional students and faithful families are at the center of this unfolding story.
The tangible fruits of this immense generosity are already dynamically transforming our daily campus life. This year, we successfully built and opened a brand-new, 5,000-square-foot playground, an outdoor multi-sport athletic court, and an outdoor classroom inspired by Narnia. These engaging spaces are designed to foster active play and interactions that are relational, creative, and collaborative so that students build deep community. Additionally, in June, we celebrated our first-ever Scholarship Banquet at the beautiful Southall Farm & Inn. It was an unforgettable evening of fellowship and worship, highlighted by an intimate performance from renowned, award-winning Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman. The event underscored a core distinctive of our community - the desire that cost not be a barrier to any family seeking Classical Christian Education for their children.
Looking ahead, our eyes are firmly and strategically set on the future as we work tirelessly to complete our campus footprint. Our next major development milestones include the comprehensive third-floor build-out with additional classrooms, office space, and the ultimate creation of a beautiful, dream library. This library will serve as the heart of our academic building, beautifully emphasizing the Great Books that form the timeless bedrock upon which a classical education is built. We are also dreaming into facilities that support excellence in athletics and flourishing fine arts.
Come be a part of our story - it is a narrative being written daily with parents and students at the center, for the glory of God. Soli deo gloria!
