Franklin Center

Franklin Center is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to unlock potential and transform lives by addressing the holistic academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of the neurodiverse community. We do this through an approach that integrates a full range of services: + Franklin Academy: A Minnesota school unlike any other, delivering K-12 education through personalized accommodations for neurodiverse students. + Franklin Therapy: Fully licensed, comprehensive therapy for the neurodiverse, with a focus on the intersection of behavioral and mental health. + Franklin Enrichment: Engaging experiences outside of school where students build friendships, create connections, and develop social skills. + Camp Franklin: Summer camps for neurodiverse or sensory-sensitive students to maintain their learning, have fun, and make friends. + Franklin Capstone: A post-secondary program offering a full range of life skills courses, preparing neurodiverse young adults to live and work independently with confidence. Formerly called The Whole Learning School, and then Academy of Whole Learning, a group of parents of children with neurodiversities founded our organization in 2003. Since then, we’ve continued to add grades and electives, along with new innovative, tailored services and activities as our community grows with us. By offering a variety of services and custom support, we’re working every day toward our vision to help our neurodiverse community achieve their goals and have an exceptional human experience.
