FCA is open for the 2007-2008 School year and accepting student applications for grades 9-12.
FCA is a public NH Charter school that serves students from all NH communities – including Franklin, Tilton, Hill, Sanbornton, Bristol, Tilton and Northfield.
The overall goal of the Franklin Career Academy is to create a business-affiliated,
innovative choice charter high school for predominately at-risk Franklin and other
area students—a school designed to mentor students through completion of the school’s
high school program requirements. The school will exist for only one purpose—to
increase students’ life options, including college, following a high school graduation.
Principal's Message
The operating philosophy of Franklin Career Academy has remained unchanged since the inception of the school in 2004. We believe in the following statements and we try very hard to provide positive examples and clear expectations for students and parents:
Reading is an essential Key to success in life
Provide rigorous academic programs with high expectations for all students
Small class size and individual instruction helps all students, some much more than others
Each student has an Individual Development Plan (IDP)
We provide alternative and accelerated program options
Past failures are viewed as lessons learned, not predictors of the future
Never give up. You are never a loser until you stop trying. Attitude and persistence are invaluable tools.
If you want to be a winner, you first have to learn how to think like a winner. Winners are not afraid of failure so they are not afraid to try and try again.
Parents are education partners
“Education is the best provision for old age.” -Aristotle
Current Projects
Project:
Photo documentation of Franklin Falls Historic District by students of the Franklin Career Academy for the Franklin Heritage Commission.
Purpose:
To augment the heritage commission photo archive so that a visual record of the entire historic district can be made at specific point in time. In the work the commission does to protect the district and provide education, this record will be used to compare the present to the past and the future.
Goal:
Obtain a digital photo record of every facade, lot, sign and significant feature in the historic district.
