BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
WHAT ARE YOUR IMMEDIATE PLANS?
Our ability to enroll every qualified student, without a lottery or second step, is critically important for us to be the best school for the best students in our city. Our current building was designed for approximately 850 students, yet our enrollment has now surpassed 1,000! To meet this demand in the short term, we are leasing classroom space from the University of New Orleans, but we are excited to announce our plan to build a STEAM building in the near future to accommodate the growing demand for design thinking; creative classes across disciplines; student-driven curriculum; and collaborative, hands-on learning.
Honor Roll of Donors
AS A DONOR, WHAT CHANGES FOR ME?
As a public charter school, we are limited in the fundraising avenues we can pursue. Having a separate fundraising organization allows us to explore innovative and exciting opportunities to raise and use money to provide the best educational experience for our exceptional students.
WHY DOES FRANKLIN NEED A SEPARATE FUNDRAISING ORGANIZATION?
