Teacher Testimonies
I have chosen to continue to work at Benjamin Franklin Charter School for over 18 years now because of the atmosphere that the school and its staff provide. I have always felt supported and heard. I feel very comfortable sharing my thoughts and ideas with my colleagues and administration. When I first began teaching with BFCS, I had every tool and support I needed to help me become a successful teacher to ensure that my students had a great year of learning. This organization provides its staff with professional development opportunities to keep us moving in the right direction to help our students learn and grow with their hearts and minds. I love BFCS and look forward to many more years of providing a well-rounded education with high standards and respect for ourselves and our community.

Our kids are wonderful people from wonderful families- they work incredibly hard, treat staff and each other with genuine respect and kindness, and somehow are good at everything. Everyone on staff is incredibly positive and helpful. The kids are cheerful, trustworthy, humble, motivated, and self-aware.

What I love about Benjamin Franklin is the emphasis on learning combined with a warm, supportive community of parents, staff and students. Everyone involved strives to enhance the level of communication and interaction so that the students benefit from a cohesive learning environment. I teach here because I feel that I can directly impact the educational growth of my students. It is a dream come true to watch my students develop into curious, expressive, and intellectually stimulated young adults. Benjamin Franklin provides the platform that allows me to help them with that journey.

I teach at Benjamin Franklin High School because the students are held to a higher standard and therefore rise to meet those expectations. I have the freedom and encouragement to incorporate virtues into my everyday lessons. The students are engaged and learn over time to provide thoughtful conversation and argument. I recognize that I’m doing more than preparing them for the next phase in their life. I am privileged to be a small part of a larger machine (including their families first and foremost, admin, and other teachers and coaches on campus) preparing these students for life.

The level of support I've received is much more than I ever expected. I never expected administration to be so invested into my life and seeing me grow as a teacher. They live by the same standards that the teachers live by, and I love to see that!

I love BFHS because the way they have structured the school allows for in-depth conversations about vital topics such as what is right and what does it mean to be human. I love the teamwork between all the teachers to train these young minds to think critically for themselves. This school is truly a place that values education and knows the impact a good education can have on a life and the community.
