Ben Franklin Academy offers field trips and activities to enhance and support our rigorous curriculum – bringing to life and providing hands-on reinforcement of classroom instruction. These are “grade-level traditions” that staff, teachers, and, especially, students look forward to and get excited about year after year. BFA students eagerly anticipate participating in these field trips and activities in future grade levels as they progress through their school career while at BFA. By keeping the love of learning strong and building a solid educational foundation for each student, we know that BFA graduates will be prepared for long-term success. We also have worked hard to establish a strong community where parents and students of all grades can come together, feel welcome, and can be an integral part of the school. Below are some of BFA’s traditions.
