A grant from the Arizona Department of Education ‘Charter School Program’ (AzCSP) has made it possible for us to open Paulo Freire Freedom School – Downtown in 2014-2015 with state-of-the-art educational technology. PFFS-Downtown will be a full-immersion STEM middle school requiring students to explore and solve problems the way adults in the real world explore and solve problems. The learning spaces at PFFS-Downtown will have more in common with 21st century, technology-rich workspaces than 20th century school classrooms.
