Personalized Education

What We Do
Our mission is to collaborate with parents to deliver tailored education for students primarily in grades 3 to 8. We offer a comprehensive education program ranging from full-day, full-subject instruction to individual subject modules, catering to the specific needs of each family.
Central to our curriculum is project-based learning, where students engage in collaborative projects supported by personalized learning strategies during daily afternoon sessions.

Project-Based Learning
What is Project-based Learning?
Project-based learning, often abbreviated as PBL, is a model of learning in which students acquire knowledge and skills by collaborating with each other in response to a realistic and engaging question or problem.
PBL functions across all subjects and grade levels.
Elements of PBL
1.) Authenticity: Projects are designed around real-world issues or challenges that are meaningful to students, making the learning relevant and motivating.
2.) Inquiry: Students explore the project’s central question or problem, often through research and investigation, which fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
3.) Collaboration: PBL often involves teamwork, where students work together to achieve shared goals, promoting interpersonal skills and communication.
4.) Student-driven: While teachers provide guidance and support, students have a degree of autonomy in how they approach and solve problems within the project, fostering independence and self-direction.
5.) Reflection: PBL typically includes opportunities for students to reflect on their learning process, assess their progress, and make adjustments as needed, promoting metacognative awareness.
6.) Presentation: Projects often lead up to a final product or presentation that demonstrates what students have learned or achieved. Sometimes this even involves sharing their work with an audience beyond the classroom!

our philosopy
Overview
The goal of education for us is to develop the qualities in students that are a reflection of our Creator God- knowledge, wisdom, goodness, love, and creativity- so that each student will thrive in their individual life and as part of their community.
We chose the word “Freedom” for our name for a few reasons:
1.) We want students to be free from constraints to learn how they are best gifted to learn.
2.) We want parents to have more options so they feel freedom to give their students the education they feel they need.
3.) We as teachers want the freedom to best practice education without the constraints of an established system.
Parental Autonomy
We believe parents should be able to make as many chioces as possible regarding their child’s education.
High Standards
We believe the best standard for a child is that child’s best. Sometimes that means adjusting our approach to reveal their best.
Value in Community
We believe that we must learn to value each other. One of the places that begins is the classroom.
Curiosity Welcome
We believe that curiosity is the lifeblood of learning. When questions arise, we believe they should be enganged.
Flexible Order
We believe that learning can be messy and sometimes look chaotic, however, all this happens within a given structure.
