Dual Language Academy

Franklin Dual Language Academy

Franklin Dual Language Academy students will enjoy the benefits of a small, nurturing middle school experience right when kids need it most, but will not miss out on the benefits that a large school like Franklin has to offer.

FDLA is a 50/50 dual immersion model with Spanish, science, and history in the target language.

FDLA has 7 highly qualified middle school dual language teachers that ensure students are well cared for throughout the school day.

• their own campus in the upper section of the school site, separate from high school classrooms, and 
• a separate lunch area as well as their own gym and changing areas.
