Parents and Families

Franklin students travel great distances, and often those experiences of being in the world and studying across borders help them build and strengthen relationships.  Our alumni and their families often refer to this phenomenon as becoming part of the Franklin Family, and it is the ties built from overcoming distances and providing mutual support that make the “family” a reality.

This section is dedicated to those who support their students while they have the educational experience of their lives.  Franklin staff and faculty are dedicated to helping bridge the gap between students and their families at home, creating resources and opportunities for parents and families to provide that support even at great distances.  The information in this section and linked below is intended to function as a reference for families, identifying ways to be present and help students succeed in their courageous ventures of obtaining an international education and living a cross-cultural experience.
