History

Franklin Academy (FA) was founded in 1998 as one of North Carolina's 100 charter schools. FA has more than 1,800 applicants on a waiting list each year.

Originally only encompassing a small building with few teachers, the school expanded quickly. The chairman of the board and founder, Mr. Robert L. Luddy, had ambitions for the school and soon one more building was built at the original site. Two other buildings followed at a separate campus. As of January 2011, the school opened the doors of a new $9 million high-school building, making three separate campuses and five overall buildings.
