The mission of Franklin Classical School is to provide a biblically-based education that is both academically excellent and spiritually vital to enable young men and women to know and serve the Lord Jesus Christ and to transform families, institutions, and nations for the glory of God.
The three-fold vision of Franklin Classical is to:
1
Raise up the next generation of Christian cultural and spiritual leaders;
2
Model a biblical pattern of discipleship through parent-directed, covenantal, and classical education;
3
Lay foundations for economic and biblical justice, artistic excellence, intellectual achievement, worldview discernment, physical health, and evangelistic passion so that each student may ultimately attain their high calling and realize their destiny. Therefore the curriculum is both college preparatory and missions preparatory; it is both academically accelerated and socially responsive; it is both community oriented and globally minded.
FCS offers a full curriculum for grades K-12.
Our college preparatory curriculum allows students to graduate with all necessary state credits, yet the school is still structured so that parents may choose to homeschool for select subjects. Fine Arts and Athletic curricula have been exciting areas of growth for FCS in recent years. Our repertoire of drama and musical productions includes not only classics but also exemplary works written and produced by FCS students and faculty. Our sports roster includes Soccer, Volleyball, Football, Golf, Cross-Country, Archery, Tennis, and Basketball.
FCS has been a member in good standing of the Association of Christian Schools International since 1996 and Association of Classical Christian Schools since 2004. FCS is established as a 501-C3 non-profit organization with the Internal Revenue Service.
From a biblical perspective, justice is not the government-mandated redistribution of wealth or government-mandated attempts to establish equality or fairness. Instead, justice is taking what’s wrong and making it right and doing so through relational means. This virtue is one element of the nature and character of God and is also the very foundation of His throne (Psalm 89:14).
The Hebrew word for justice is mishpat, and this word is directly linked to the concept of righteousness. Thus, biblical justice is the equitable and impartial application of the rule of God’s moral law in society and as such is primarily the responsibility of the church. The hope found in Jesus brings the truest form of biblical reform and provides a pathway for enacting social justice to a fallen world. Christians are called to proclaim the gospel to the lost and to also serve those whom the world deems least and last. Scripture is replete with mandates to offer opportunity, compassion, protection, and impartiality to the oppressed, the downtrodden, the vulnerable, and the poor. These endeavors spring from our relationship with God and then flow out to our relationship with others. When Christians learn that impacting people one by one and doing the next right thing is all that is required to spark change, the craving for justice will be met. Yet this change must be rooted in the foundation of the Rock of Scripture, for as Dr. George Grant warns, “Any attempt to serve justice apart from godliness, truth, faithfulness, and holiness is folly.”
