Freedom Side School

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

At long last, Freedom Side is thrilled to share the location of our school’s permanent home!

Starting April 1, we’ve teamed up with Friends of the Woodlands to lease 1 acre of land, two out buildings and a port-o-potty!

Alongside our robust outdoor education program, our curriculum will now feature additional skill-building in masonry, composting & horticulture (lunches will be foraged!) and fire-tending. We’re thrilled to embark on this new chapter, and pray for fewer than five snowstorms a year. 🤞🏽

In addition to our classroom teachers and school coordinator, we are now also hiring for a full-time groundskeeper! Resumes can be sent directly to [email protected]

Just kidding! We won't be at the Woodlands, but we are excited to learn and grow in a beautiful facility, with some incredible access to nature! Our new home is no joke...stay tuned for a more official announcement about our building next week! 🌸 Wanna collaborate with us on outdoor programming for real?! Email [email protected].

🎉 Happy Birthday, Freedom Side! 🥳

Over the weekend, we braved the cold and celebrated 5 years of Freedom Side School! We gotta say, it was pretty cute!

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner from Yes Yasmine Kitchen, and a one of a kind birthday cake from Frank of Soil Earth Ground! We made time for letter writing to our inside loved ones, arts and crafts, games and karaoke! One of our Inside Advisory Board members joined via Zoom, just in time to sing Happy Birthday (and meet some of our youngest Freedom Fighters before their bedtimes)! 🥰

It was pretty special to gather and celebrate the people who've made this project possible. The dream of Freedom Side was born in the winter of January 2021–since then, an incredible community has grown around Freedom Side, bringing our mission, vision and values to life. 🌱

We are so lucky to build on the dedication and hard work of our Vision Team, and we're grateful for everyone who has joined us since that first meeting! 💞

2026 is our year! As we look forward to welcoming our first class of students in September, we're inviting visionary educators, caregivers, organizers and community members to join us–there's a place for you on the Freedom Side!

Here's to our best year yet. 🎂🎉
