Ben Franklin Academy

Ben Franklin Academy Ben Franklin Academy (BFA) is a preschool through eighth grade Core Knowledge public charter school BFA also offers a tuition-based, Core Knowledge preschool.

Ben Franklin Academy (BFA) is a John Irwin School of Excellence and The STEAM School of Choice in Douglas County, Colorado. We are a kindergarten through eighth grade public, charter school that combines a challenging, sequenced curriculum with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) as well as character education. BFA’s mission is to develop young adults with cha

racter like America’s founding Renaissance man, Benjamin Franklin: well-read, scientifically curious, and civically engaged. We are a data driven institution, focusing on individual students. Finally, we recognize that an education is incomplete without fostering the arts, sports, nature, and character. BFA participates in Douglas County School District's open enrollment process. See our website or the DCSD Open Enrollment webpage for additional details about the enrollment process and timeline.
