Innovation Isn’t a Passive Process. Neither is learning.

The Franklin School of Innovation is molding the next generation of leaders, explorers, inventors, and global citizens. We dare our students to achieve, to dig, to discover. We challenge them with big questions and problems. When students lead their own learning, they learn to lead us.

Every Child Is My Child.

To teach a student, you must know that student both academically and personally. Our faculty builds time into every school day to foster meaningful, intentional relationships with our students. FSI is not just a school, it’s a community.

Our Faculty

Real-World Engagement

An education shouldn’t occur solely within classroom walls. Community engagement is at the core of FSI. Our students learn through active service, such as helping clean up Hominy Creek, planting trees in our native tree nursery, and partnering on a home build with Habitat for Humanity.

Community Engagement

“Our daughter is now excited to tell us about her day. She said “everyone is friends” and loves that the teachers encourage the students to work together and to truly listen to one another. For her first few days, she said she had a headache when I picked her up. When I attributed this to the increased stress of starting a new school, she confidently said, “No, I really don’t feel stressed at all. I think my brain is just tired from working so hard!” It is such a thrill to see our child so excited about learning and using her brain to its fullest potential.”

“Franklin has opened doors for me that no other school could have. With the unique way of teaching, it has impacted my entire education along with my future.”
