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.
Join us for an Open House at our beautiful campus. You will meet our welcoming students and dynamic faculty and have the opportunity to learn about our programs.
We’re dedicated to empowering students to pursue their passions, develop real-world readiness, and have agency over their futures.
Our socially and emotionally enriching Academic Care program ensures personalized attention focused on students' learning needs.
With a focus on cutting-edge, transdisciplinary, and experiential learning methodologies, we nurture problem-solving skills that are essential for the challenges of the 21st century.
We offer a diverse range of extracurricular activities to cultivate teamwork, leadership, and a sense of identity.
Our counselors provide extensive support, guiding families and students in all aspects of the college admissions process beginning in grade 9.
