In order to ensure that the mission, vision and objectives of Franklin Classical School are met, a system of governance has been established and set forth in the Association By-Laws.  

In summary:  Franklin Classical School is governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of four appointed (permanent) board seats and three elected seats.  This body of seven men and women are entrusted with overseeing the school’s mission and vision, for establishing policy, and for the appointment and oversight of the principal.  The Board, subscribing to the great historic creeds and confessions of the church,  governs with an encompassing  emphasis on scriptural integrity and direction in all aspects of the school.

There are five persons appointed to fill the four permanent seats with the extra person taking a one-year sabbatical leave from the board.  This “sabbatical seat” shall rotate through the appointed members.  The three elected board trustees will each have three-year terms and one seat will be filled by election every year.  New candidates for trustee may be nominated for service by two or more sitting board members or by petition of no less than fifteen members of the association.
  
The officers of the Board are chairman, a vice-chairman, and a secretary, each of whom are elected by the board of trustees.  The committees of the board are comprised of an executive committee, standing committees and any ad hoc committees as deemed necessary. 

The Association membership includes the founders, patrons, and parents of all duly-enrolled full-time students of Franklin Classical School, members in good standing of any duly authorized ad hoc committee, school faculty and staff, and such other members as may be approved by the Board of Trustees, such as alumni and their parents.  Each family with students currently enrolled is considered a single vote for the election of new Trustees and any matters or petitions coming before the association.
