                                      Aftercare Program

                                      The Aftercare program starts immediately after carpool and ends promptly at 6:00 PM every day school is in session. Parents can enroll their students in the program for as many days as needed and make payment by visiting our School Store.

                                      K–12 Drop-In Aftercare Services and Costs: Parents can prepay for drop-in care by purchasing days in sets of five from the online school store. Please be sure to print and bring your receipt to the Aftercare staff. Aftercare staff will not accept cash or checks.

                                      9–12 Aftercare Costs: The cost of Grades 9–12 Aftercare for the entire school year is $900.00 for full-time care. Parents can pay this through PayPal in eight equal payments of $112.50 or one lump-sum payment of $810.00, which includes a 10% discount.

                                      A few important notes:

                                      • You will need to use or create a PayPal account to have these payments processed, and you can do this safely and securely through www.paypal.com. Please note that the school will not have access to any personal credit information, as all payments are processed securely through PayPal.
                                      • Refunds and PayPal: Franklin Academy can render refunds for services within 15 days of payment. Refund amounts will include the amount paid MINUS a 5% processing fee. Requests for refunds should be sent directly to business@franklinacademy.org. 

                                      About Our Program: The Aftercare Program offers structured after-school care for students. Below is an outline of the program:

                                      1. The program runs from the end of carpool until 6 PM.
                                      2. The program includes structured homework time with assistance from educational professionals.

                                      4. Franklin Academy employees staff the program.
                                      5. All three campuses, grades K–12, offer Aftercare to students.

                                      Note: Aftercare is a voluntary program. Students and parents are expected to follow all rules and procedures. Failure to comply with these established guidelines may result in revocation of all Aftercare services.
