Douglas County’s newest charter school is scheduled to break
ground in early March for construction during the spring and early
summer. Ben Franklin Academy will be built on the corner of Lucent
Boulevard and Plum Valley Lane.
Those interested in enrolling their child in Ben Franklin
Academy for the 2011-2012 school year must fill out an open
enrollment application through the Douglas County School District
open enrollment page.
The tuition-free school needs roughly 350 students to begin
classes with grades K-5; one grade will be added each year
beginning with sixth grade in 2012, eventually making the school
K-8.
Open enrollment ends at 4 p.m. Jan. 18. For further information,
