Preparing Every Student to Build the Future

On behalf of our entire school community, welcome to Freire Charter School! Before we go any further, please take a moment to ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do I want my student to attend a school that is safe and peaceful?
  • Do I want my student to learn from some of the brightest and most talented teachers in Philadelphia?
  • Is my student willing to work incredibly hard to reach their academic potential?

If you answered yes to these questions, Freire Charter School is the perfect fit for your student!

We are proudly college prep, yet we also support students who may pursue different paths. Our comprehensive program, encompassing both core academics and professional extracurricular experiences, ensures all students graduate with transferable knowledge and skills for various professions. Our goal is to grow students, helping them advance to the next level, whether it’s improving their performance on high-stakes exams or perfecting a presentation. 

Our Belief in the “Power of Yet”

At the middle school level, the “Power of Yet” empowers our students to believe in their ability to grow and succeed, making them more resilient and determined learners. We know that when a student doesn’t succeed on a quiz or test, it means they haven’t mastered the concepts yet, and we are committed to helping them get there. We view test results as a snapshot of understanding on a given day, not a final judgment of a student’s abilities.

Multiple Opportunities for Mastery (MOM)

At the high school level, our Multiple Opportunities for Mastery (MOM) program gives students several chances to complete assignments, retake tests, and relearn challenging material. By fostering confidence and emphasizing that mastery is achievable with persistence, MOM helps students develop a growth mindset that extends beyond high school.

While programs like Multiple Opportunities for Mastery (MOM) and the Power of YET may not exist in certain real-world or college contexts, they are intentionally designed to help students develop skills that are transferable in many life settings. These programs equip students with resilience, adaptability, and a persistent approach to challenges, ensuring they are prepared for success in any environment.

We are all DRAGONS, and we must BREATHE FIRE!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d love to talk to you.
