Heart to Heart
Heart to Heart is a non-diploma program for students with Down syndrome. In the admission process, priority is given to relatives of FRA community members. This is a parallel program unique to Franklin Road Academy. Students with Down syndrome are enrolled in this mainstream, special education program directed by a full-time special education teacher. The Heart to Heart teacher is responsible for effective mainstreaming. Core curriculum such as English and mathematics may be taught in the Heart to Heart classroom. Whenever appropriate, Heart to Heart students are individually integrated into academic classes with assignments adapted by the Heart to Heart teacher. In addition, these students take enrichment classes, lunch and physical education classes with their assigned grade levels.
