Legacy Forward
About
Legacy Forward—Partner With Us Today
The word legacy itself comes from the Latin legare, meaning “to appoint by will” or “to send as an ambassador,” reminding us that what we pass on is both a gift and a commission. We invite you to join us in building a legacy that will strengthen classical Christian education for generations to come. Franklin Classical School, an established 501(c)(3) charitable organization where gifts are tax-deductible, has seen firsthand how generosity transforms lives.
Of all the demands on your time and generosity, why choose to partner with Franklin Classical School as the place to build a legacy?
Research from the University of Notre Dame’s 2019 Good Soil Report affirms that students educated in classical Christian schools are more likely to develop lasting faith, strong character, and a deep sense of purpose. Unlike modern models that often measure success by test scores alone, classical education is set apart by its integration of wisdom, virtue, and truth—forming the whole person for a lifetime of faithful service.
Whether you are an alumnus returning to campus, a grandparent eager to invest in the future and have more connection to your grandchild’s school, or a local business ready to make a tangible impact, there is a place for you here. We believe presence matters, and that our community is strengthened not only by gifts but also by the fellowship of alumni, grandparents, and partners who walk alongside us.
Every path of supporting Franklin Classical is designed to connect your passion with our purpose — shaping hearts, minds, and futures through Christian classical education, and welcoming you fully into the community that makes it thrive.
Amanda Priefer, Director of Development, is on the pulse of current needs, future growth, and the areas being actively discussed for building campaigns and expansion. She is dedicated to meaningful conversations with grandparents, alumni, corporate partners, and current FCS families who wish to explore long‑term impact or direct their support toward areas of personal passion and interest. If you would like to set up a time to meet in person over a cup of coffee, tour the school, or connect by phone to learn more—please reach out directly to Amanda at [email protected] or call and leave a message for Amanda with the receptionist at our Franklin Classical number: 615-528-3777.
“You are the heirs of a remarkable legacy—a legacy that has passed into your hands after no little tumult and travail; a legacy that is the happy result of sacrificial human relations, no less than of stupendous human achievements; a legacy that demands of you a lifetime of vigilance and diligence so that you may in turn pass the fruits of Christian civilization on to succeeding generations. This is the essence of the Biblical view, the covenantal view, and the classical view of education. This is the great legacy of truth which you are now the chief beneficiaries.” ARTHUR QUILLER-COUCH
