Curriculum

Knowledge gives your child power. At Freire Charter School, our goal is to offer your child an array of challenging courses to maximize their powerful potential.

Freire Charter School’s rigorous college-preparatory curriculum is designed to ensure that every Freire student graduates with the credits required for acceptance at any top college in the US.

This includes four years each of English, math, science, and social studies, as well as three years of language study. In addition to these intensive requirements, we offer a variety of courses that engage students deeply with their learning and bring to life connections between students’ classwork, their communities and real-world issues. The passing grade for all classes at Freire is 75%.
