These basic principles form the Five Pillars responsible for the success of Schools:

We have clearly defined and measurable high expectations for academic achievement and conduct.

Students, their parents, and the faculty of our School, choose to participate in the program.  No one is assigned or forced to attend these schools.  Everyone must make and uphold a commitment to the school and to each other to put in the time and effort required to achieve success.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to success in academics and life.  By extending the school day, week, and year, students have more time in the classroom to acquire the knowledge and skills that will prepare them for competitive high schools and colleges, as well as more opportunities to engage in diverse academic experiences.

Our teachers are effective academic and organizational leaders who understand that great schools require great school leaders.  They have control over their school budget and personnel, allowing maximum effectiveness in helping students learn.

Freedom Academy Charter School has an unrelentingly focus on high student performance on standardized tests and other objective measures. Just as there are no shortcuts, there are no excuses.  Students are expected to achieve a level of academic aptitude that will enable them to succeed in the nation’s best high schools and colleges
