Franklin Road Academy is located on Franklin Road, Oak Hill, about 15 minutes south of central Nashville.

This school gets great reviews from both parents and students. It has an excellent academic program, with additional strong programs in the arts and in sport.

One of the features of this school is the Center for Philanthropic studies, which offers a wide range of opportunities for community involvement and service.
Franklin Road also have a special learning lab - ASPIRE - which gives individualised support to students who need additional academic input, whether because they are struggling or whether they need additional challenges.

Franklin Road's mission is to produce scholars with integrity and balance - and "balance" includes academic, athletic, artistic and social excellence, together with a spiritual direction.

Another big plus for this school is the way they encourage parent involvement in their community. Overall, I couldn't find any negative comments about this school - parents couldn't praise it highly enough.

It's a large school, but it has a good teacher-student ratio, and appears to be very caring and supportive of all their students (not just the stars), with facilities for meeting special needs.
