About Franklin Road Academy
FRA is a remarkable community offering the unique combination of a challenging and supportive educational experience in an inclusive Christian community. Many independent schools provide a great education and others have a faith–based mission, but few do both well. We do at FRA, and we encourage our students to be fully involved in all areas of school life. From our youngest pre-kindergartners to our rising seniors, our students develop their minds, bodies, and spirits through involvement at FRA. At FRA, we know what matters most. While academic success and college placement are important to our school community, our students are not a grade point average or a standardized test score; they are young men and women who are well prepared to succeed at the finest colleges and universities, have a strong sense of purpose, and are eager to make a difference in the world around them.
