Greetings from the Dean of Studies

Brenda Huff, Dean of Studies

I am pleased to serve as Franklin Road Academy's Dean of Studies. As Dean of Studies, I support the teachers and staff of FRA in fulfilling our school mission by overseeing the school's on-going curriculum assessment, implementation, professional development, and accreditation. There are four critical questions we consider as we design our plan for accomplishing our mission:

  1. Where is the school today?
  2. Where do we want the school to go?
  3. What is our plan to get there?
  4. How will we know when we have accomplished our plan?

FRA is committed to recruiting and retaining outstanding faculty who are well qualified and who have a heart for young people. Our comprehensive professional development program includes mentoring, funding for continuing education, and a summer grant program. Teachers take advantage of multiple opportunities for shared leadership and collaboration.

SACS/SAIS Accreditation

The SAIS/SACS dual accreditation procedure is directed by the Dean of Studies. All FRA faculty and staff participate in this process of on-going school improvement on a five year cycle. Annual goals are set and measured through a school-wide action plan. The most recent accreditation process was completed in March, 2007. We invite you to review the accreditation report (PDF).

Information regarding grade-specific curriculum, college placement, school profiles, academic and extracurricular activities are available for each school:

I appreciate your interest in FRA and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact me if you would like more information about curriculum or professional growth.
