Franklin Academy
We love Franklin Academy! The teachers are amazing, the kids are all excited about learning and every class is far beyond the typical grade level. The teaching methods seem to scare a lot of parents off, but it's actually very different than those people think. If you didn't know it was a DI school and went to watch a class, you'd just see a normal teacher with lots of interested kids. I absolutely recommend applying.
