Annual Enrollment Period Opens at Charter School in Franklin

The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School (BFCCPS), located in Franklin, has begun accepting applications for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. BFCCPS is a regional public charter school for students in Kindergarten through Grade Eight. 

This year BFCCPS celebrates its 30th year of operation. The school was founded in 1995 and is one of the oldest and most successful charter schools in the state of Massachusetts. Siblings of currently enrolled students will have priority enrollment status; thereafter applicants from communities in the school's district will have a chance at securing a spot for their child through the annual enrollment lottery to be held on February 24, 2025. 

Applicants from outside of the region (who reside within the state of Massachusetts) will be eligible for enrollment should additional spaces remain after all sibling and regional applicants have been placed.

For the 2025-2026 school year 100 spaces will be offered for Kindergarten and students at all other grade levels will receive a waiting list number. Offers for Grades One through Eight would be contingent upon currently enrolled students electing not to return next year.

The school provides a well-rounded, rigorous academic program designed to educate the whole child providing courses in art, music, languages, technology, and physical education. In addition to our core academic and co-curricular classes, students in Grade Six through Eight participate in weekly Classical Enrichment Courses and start Latin studies in Grade Six. Middle schoolers are also eligible to participate in our Spring Musical.

Students in Grades 5-8 also have the opportunity to participate in overnight field trips each spring. Round trip bus transportation is available with bus stops currently in Bellingham, Blackstone, Franklin, Norfolk, Mendon, Medway, Milford, Millis, Norfolk, and Wrentham.

BFCCPS alumni continue to excel during their attendance at local public high schools as well as independent high schools. Please visit the school’s website at www.bfccps.org for enrollment details, including applications. Enrollment information sessions and building tours will be held on January 11th and February 8 from 10am to noon . Please notethat the enrollment period will come to a close on February 14, 2025 at 4pm.
