Franklin School
The possibilities are endless.
We’re a new kind of school; a place where students have the freedom to forge their own paths. We use applied learning philosophies to help students in grades 9-12 actively engage in their classes and understand concepts in hands-on ways, with a curriculum rooted in collaboration and flexibility. Franklin encourages innovation and entrepreneurship — and, located in the heart of Jersey City — taps into the energy and history of both our location and legacy as a leader in education, which dates back to 1872.
