Birthed in 1993 when children met in their homes and learned lessons about African geography and African American history. The tradition of learning about the rich culture and contributions of African people around the world serves as the foundation of the Freedom School.  The Freedom School operates from May 1st to September 1st of each school year.  

The Learning for Liberation ® Freedom School will serve as a bridge to:

• boost student agency and identity as learners

• build critical thinking skills

• develop an understanding of historical and current events from the perspective of African Americans

• promote a clear and positive self image for students and participants

  
  

Students explore African and African American current and historical events. 

Participants discuss ways to bring about positive change in our communities through maximizing educational opportunities, volunteering, and making excellent choices. The purpose is to develop a clear level of consciousness for students of African descent. Our goal is for our children to embrace their fabulous ancestral past and gleam from the greatness that resides within.
