Why Elmwood Franklin School
Elmwood Franklin School provides a unique learning environment that emphasizes academic achievement, good study skills, and positive character development. Without question, we set high standards. We also give our students the support necessary to meet our expectations. Because we understand the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of early adolescents, we are able to design our program to meet their varying needs.

Elmwood Franklin School graduates are well-prepared academically, possessing the skills and demonstrating the qualities needed for new challenges ahead. Graduating students can choose to attend any of our region’s fine secondary schools.

Elmwood Franklin School is the only elementary school in Buffalo awarded a Confucius Classroom through the Confucius Institute at the University at Buffalo. To be awarded a Confucius Classroom, a school or district must have demonstrated a clear commitment to teaching Chinese as a regular part of the curriculum. Learn more about this distinction here.
