Learning at Freire Charter School isn’t confined to the classroom—and it doesn’t stop when the school day ends. Field trips and after-school activities are an essential part of learning at Freire.
After school, students can take part in several sports teams, visit our Academic Centers to receive individual tutoring and support from their teachers, or participate in our robust after-school clubs and activities program.
