A daily morning advisory will be devoted to Campfire. It is a time for students to think about such issues as character, values, community, progress, interests, current events, etc.

The history curriculum is central to many of the activities at Benjamin Franklin Academy. All academic subjects and special activities have a relationship to it. Students will know their country’s history, be familiar with its culture and will derive a sense of identity.

Music and art education will be an integral part of the curriculum at Benjamin Franklin Academy. There will be formal classes, which cover art and music history and theory, as well as classes giving students opportunities to express themselves creatively in both subjects.

Benjamin Franklin Academy will have an immersive theater program that is integrated into the curriculum. The program will seek to mount a full slate of productions that promote the philosophical, historical, and artistic themes of the school.

Toolbox is an integral part of the Franklin Academy mission. We believe that practical work with the hands leading to the acquisition of useful skills leads to both a deeper understanding of the academic curriculum and to the empowerment and self-confidence that a tangible, skillfully executed project or product can bring.
