That’s a wrap on Summer Session! We'll be taking a short July break for staff vacations and facility maintenance. Discovery Week begins August 11, grades 1–8 return August 18, and Kindergarten starts August 24. Have a wonderful summer, Foxes!
Research shows recess improves behavior, supports learning, and offers important physical and emotional benefits. At Franklin Discovery Academy, we believe recess isn't a break from education—it's an essential part of it.
Vineyard may be our home, but Orem is family too! Franklin Discovery Academy was proud to participate in the OremFest Parade on June 13, bringing plenty of Fox spirit, smiles, and community pride along the route.
At Franklin Discovery Academy, we believe children learn at different rates. Rather than focusing on early benchmarks, we emphasize developmental readiness and a lifelong love of reading. The result? Confident readers who thrive by third grade and beyond.
Our June session may be smaller, but our school spirit is as strong as ever! Franklin Discovery Academy proudly participated in the Vineyard Days Parade, thanks to the creativity, energy, and support of our amazing staff and volunteers. Way to represent, Foxes!
Juneteenth-no school today.
From a charter application in 2015 to opening our doors in 2016, the journey has been incredible. Thanks to our dedicated staff, students, and families, we've accomplished more than we ever imagined. And the best part? We're just getting started.
Don’t tell us this is a school! Where are the sleepy students and endless worksheets? Instead, we see kids building, creating, and having a blast. STEMRec makes learning hands-on, collaborative, and fun.
Games do more than entertain—they teach planning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and perseverance. Every move is an opportunity to strengthen young minds and build lifelong skills.
Chess has challenged minds for more than 1,500 years. Every game builds strategy, critical thinking, patience, and problem-solving skills. Computers may beat chess masters, but it still takes brilliant minds to program the computers!

Investing in the future is essential. Whether it's facilities, technology, educational resources, or staff training, every dollar is directed toward helping students succeed. Through careful stewardship, we prioritize today's needs while building a stronger tomorrow.
Our new Performing Arts Building is nearing completion, and preparations are underway to move Child Care, Preschool, Kindergarten, and our 7th & 8th grade programs into their new home.

Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” At Franklin Discovery Academy, it’s never really over! We finish June, take a July breather, and return in August—continuing to refine, improve, and grow. Great schools are always learning, just like our students.
