Mission of the Paulo Freire Charter School

The mission of the Paulo Freire Charter School (aka The Freire School) is to service those who strive to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding for the betterment of our society. We seek to improve the quality of life by putting scholarship into practice for the purpose of addressing social inequities and injustices. Through a cyclical process of inquiry and social engagement, our scholars take key concepts and apply them to service learning projects that promote social justice and democracy. Our goal is to develop a self-actualized scholar, who possesses a knowledgeable and discerning mind, thrives in service to others, and is prepared for higher education. 

Our faculty must firmly believe in the mission of the school, its goals, and its core value: as teachers and administrators one of our most important roles is to foster the active use of knowledge.

The Freire School is committed to:

1. Placing a premium on inquiry based instruction and social engagement.

2. Maintaining a commitment to a cognitive apprenticeship methodology.

3. Hiring and retaining high-quality, mission aligned teachers.

4. Using a data-driven approach to plan and implement lessons.

5. Employing a variety of customized daily student supports.
