Registration is limited and on a first-come basis. For your convenience we accept the following methods:

• Online:  Register for your class through our secure website.  We accept Mastercard, Visa, Discover and Electronic Check. The charges on your statement will appear as "FPS - Lifelong Learning".
• Phone:  Call our office Monday through Thursday from 1:00 to 7:00 pm at 508-613-1480.

You do not need to live in Franklin to attend courses.  All registrants must be at least 18 years of age in order to participate in Lifelong Community Learning classes. Exceptions to this policy include: Kids' Corner classes where students are grouped according to their grade levels; any class involving alcohol demonstrations and/or tastings - students must be 21 years of age to participate; and special family programs. 

Franklin Public Schools, in partnership with ed2go, offers online open enrollment Career Training Programs designed to provide the skills necessary to acquire professional level positions for many in-demand occupations.  We also offer a wide range of Professional Development Courses.

Course Withdrawal Policy

• If you withdraw from a course at least two weeks prior to the course start date, you will receive a full refund, less a $10 OR 10% processing fee, whichever is greater.
• If you withdraw less than two weeks before the course start date, there are no refunds, no credits, and no transfers unless there is a medical reason that would restrict the registrant from participating in the class.  An explanation along with a documented medical statement from a physician should be submitted to the director of Lifelong Learning.  If it is determined a refund is due, the registrant will receive a prorated refund for the remaining classes less a $10 OR 10% processing fee, whichever is greater.

Lifelong Community Learning reserves the right to cancel any course due to low enrollment. If your course is cancelled, you can either request a full refund or transfer to another course of your choice, space permitting. Please register at least two weeks prior to the start of a Lifelong Community Learning class. We depend on student tuition to run classes and pay instructors and need to plan accordingly. 

Registrants 65 years of age and older and Franklin town employees who work more than 20+ hours per week during the school year may enroll in most courses at a 10% discount. Some restrictions apply. There is no senior or town employee discount on food, wine, or private vendor courses. 

Classes will be made up if postponed due to extreme weather conditions or at the request of the instructor. If there is a storm, call the office at 508-613-1480 or check our website for cancellation information. 

If the instructor needs to cancel a class, we will advise you via the email you listed on your registration form.
