Discover the Difference of an Elmwood Franklin Education


As a parent with a child in preschool, elementary or middle school, you dream of a school that is safe and nurturing. A school where your child learns to work hard, play fair, be kind, and get involved. A school where your child has the freedom to explore ideas, build knowledge, and develop a lifelong love of learning. That school is right here, and we hope that you will consider joining us.

The Admissions Office is eager to answer your questions about the school and the admissions process, and we welcome your inquiries. We also welcome personal visits throughout the academic year. I encourage you to contact me at 716-877-5035 ext. 113 or admissions@elmwoodfranklin.org to schedule a tour or to learn more about Elmwood Franklin.
