To Rise


At Paulo Freire Freedom School we believe
that children grow not only academically and physically,
but emotionally, socially, and spiritually as well.
The growth they experience in these areas
is interconnected with their academic success
and with their health and happiness
as a whole person. We are committed
to supporting and challenging every child
to rise to their full potential.


Paulo Freire Freedom School is separated
into developmentally appropriate learning environments
– each designed to support students’ unique
developmental needs and capacities.
Within these carefully designed learning environments
individual students are supported and challenged
to grow and become...to rise and transform...
to develop into integrally whole human beings
(body, heart, mind, and soul).
