• Franklin School of Innovation is a free public Charter School serving students in 5th grade through 12th grade.
• Founded in 2014, our curriculum is based on the EL Education (Expeditionary Learning) model created collaboratively between Outward Bound and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. With a service learning and project-based curriculum, we believe that education takes place at school as well as in the community. Through challenging academics, real-world learning and community engagement, our students discover their potential, recognize the value of others and are prepared for the future they will create.
• Current Enrollment: 500 students who live in five counties across Western North Carolina including Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison and Polk.
• In 2017/2018 FSI started offering 5th grade and graduated its first senior class.
• Through our service learning programs, FSI students contributed over 5,000 of community service last year, ranging from befriending seniors in a retirement home, stream cleans and live-staking, to building a home with Habitat for Humanity.
• FSI’s comprehensive college prep program offers students the opportunity to pursue interests in a wide range of athletics, theatre, band, songwriting and choral music, student government, and student-led clubs.
