What makes Ben Franklin Academy unique from other charter schools?

We will use the Core Knowledge curriculum like most charter schools, but what makes the Academy unique is our science curriculum, balance, and focus on Ben Franklin’s 13 virtues. Specifically, we will consistently assess homework levels in each grade to ensure we are not overworking our children; provide active learning opportunities, such as field trips and hands-on science lessons; and encourage good values with character education focusing on Ben Franklin’s 13 virtues.
