Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School

This school has been claimed by the school or a school representative.

Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School proudly opened our doors in 2009. It was the direct outgrowth of our sister school, Franklin Towne Charter High. In 2008 our elementary charter was granted by the School Reform Commission and a team of gifted educators and community stakeholders quickly went to work on designing the school that we are all so proud to call home.

During our first two years of operation we offered a world-class education to 300 students in grades 3, 4 and 5 at our high school campus. In 2010 we added an addition 100 students to offer 3rd through 6th grade opportunities. During these two years we were building our forever home in the heart of the Bridesburg community at 4259 Richmond Street. During these two years the Franklin Towne Administration and Board of Directors transformed an abandoned and dangerous lot and turned it into a state-of-the-art educational facility that offers opportunities to over 900 students in grades Kindergarten through 8th.
