Franklin Road Academy: Alpha Blocks

Alpha Blocks is a short morning literacy camp at Franklin Road Academy designed for Nashville's youngest learners, ages 4 to 6. The focus is on foundational alphabet and early reading skills — the kind of building blocks that give kids a head start before kindergarten or boost confidence heading into early elementary grades. The camp runs one week in mid-July (July 13–17), with morning sessions from 8:30 to 11:30, making it an easy half-day commitment that won't overwhelm little ones. At $145 for the week, it's a reasonably priced option for focused academic enrichment during summer. Franklin Road Academy is an established school on Franklin Road, so the environment will feel familiar and safe for kids who may not have done summer camps before. If your child is on the younger end and just getting comfortable with group settings, the manageable three-hour window is a real plus.
