Our Mission & Vision

At Franklin Center, we provide a holistic, multi-service destination where neurodiverse individuals are seen, understood, and championed. Our vision is to create a world where unique neuro-types are not just accommodated but celebrated for their essential contributions. Through Franklin Academy, Franklin Therapy, Franklin Enrichment, Camp Franklin, and our Capstone adult services, we build a “bridge” of support through early adulthood.

About Franklin Academy
Franklin Academy is a private, accredited K-12 micro-school currently serving 90 students with the potential to grow to between 100 and 105 students. We are defined by our commitment to neurodiverse learners through a holistic model that integrates academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs. Our unique environment utilizes shared-grade classrooms and a high-collaboration faculty of 33 staff members, including lead teachers, classroom behavior therapists, and administrative support, to ensure every student is met where they are.

The Role: Head of School
The Head of School is the primary operational and visionary leader of Franklin Academy. Reporting to the Executive Director, you will be charged with creating a “Franklin Framework” that articulates our student-centric, holistic model and provides a structure for executing it consistently for both our staff and families.  We are seeking a Creative Systems Builder—someone who views the unique challenges of a micro-school not as obstacles, but as opportunities for innovation. You will translate our mission into clear, repeatable operations while constantly seeking creative solutions to evolve our model for the neurodiverse community.

The Leadership Philosophy: Empowering the Frontline
We believe in Empathetic Leadership. Our staff work each day diligently to provide individualized skills and learning experiences for our students; your role is to provide them with a clear “Execution Plan” to prevent burnout and decision fatigue. You will act as an Operational Leader & Faculty Mentor, coaching a multi-disciplinary team to balance their deep heart for the work with the operational clarity required for holistic growth.

  • Ensure achievement of high operational standards while maintaining a predictable, supportive environment for our 33-person staff.
  • Continue to build on our Academic learning progressions and behavior-emote reporting through the increased understanding of the newly created data architecture.

Instructional Mentorship & Team Alignment

  • Facilitate structured interdisciplinary meetings that align academic, behavioral, and therapeutic goals for every student.
  • Clearly articulate roles and responsibilities across the multi-disciplinary team, ensuring every staff member (from teachers to behavior therapists) understands their unique contribution to the student’s success.
  • Establish and maintain a clear chain of command and communication loops to ensure information flows seamlessly between classrooms, the therapy team, and leadership.
  • Serve as the key point of contact for families, translating school-wide progress into stories of holistic growth so parents feel like empowered partners.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work as a strategic partner with the Directors of Franklin Therapy, Capstone, and our Enrichment & Camp programs to ensure a seamless “wraparound” experience for families.
  • Collaborate with Therapy leads to ensure regulation-focused strategies are woven into the classroom fabric, creating a consistent environment across service lines.
  • Partner with the Capstone team to align the high school curriculum with our adult programming, shifting the focus toward employment readiness, functional life skills, and community independence.

Fiscal & Strategic Leadership

  • Lead the creation and execution of the Academy’s annual budget in close partnership with the Finance Director, ensuring resources are aligned with student needs and long-term sustainability.
  • Participate in Board of Trustees meetings, providing transparent reporting on Academy outcomes, enrollment trends, and strategic progress.
  • Work with the Executive Director to ensure the Academy’s objectives and goals are aligned with the broader Franklin Center’s mission and program goals.
