How Do I Enroll?
Families who wish to join the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School
in educating their children must submit an enrollment application form postmarked by
the U.S. Post Office or hand-delivered by the deadline, as detailed
in the list of all the important dates.
Application Forms will be available on Monday, November 03,
2008 at the public libraries in Franklin, Bellingham, Medway, Millis, Norfolk, Plainville, and Wrentham, as well as at the Franklin Town Hall, the Franklin Community Center, the Franklin Forge Hill YMCA, the School Office of the Benjamin Franklin Classical
Charter Public School, and here on this website. Applications are not accepted via email; they must be hand-delivered or mailed to the school.
Enrollment and Wait List Decision
If the number of applicants exceeds the spaces available, enrollment and wait list decisions are made by lottery. We only retain from year to year the lottery-determined wait list of sibling applicants of current students. If these sibling applicants apply for enrollment again in fall,
2009, they will have first preference in the order established by the 2008-2009 wait list. After these sibling applicants, preference is next given, in the following order, to:
- Other applicants who are siblings of currently enrolled students
- Franklin residents
- All others who apply
