Questions
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about The Freedom School. Can’t find your answer? We’d love to talk.
Who is The Freedom School for?
High-school-age teens (roughly ages 14–18) anywhere in the world. We’re a natural fit for homeschooling and worldschooling families who want something modern, warm and genuinely useful.
How does online learning actually work?
Students join small, live classes led by experienced educators, with flexible time around them to work on projects. It’s interactive and social — closer to a great seminar than a video playlist.
What will my teen actually learn?
We guarantee a small, essential foundation — reading and writing well, real-world numeracy, clear thinking, the ability to learn anything, and understanding how money and the world work. Everything above that, your teen drives: what they study, how deep they go, and what they build.
How does learning actually happen?
In five modes, not a timetable of periods: Sunrise (a morning block for mindfulness and mental preparation), Foundations (hands-on sessions that build the foundation), Quests (interest-driven projects your teen chooses), Seminars (real discussion and debate), and Odyssey (a chosen world language and culture, learned to actually use). Advisory runs alongside all five — a consistent mentor checking in one-on-one every other week.
Who walks out at eighteen?
A young person who can think for themselves, learn anything, work with anyone, and act in the world with judgment and integrity — free, capable, and good, and ready to thrive without us. See The Graduate for the full portrait.
What about college and the future?
Every student is paired with an Advisory mentor for the whole time they’re here — the glue that holds the rest of the day together, checking in one-on-one every other week with personalized guidance and support. That includes college and career mentoring — choosing a path, application essays, interviews. Book a call and we’ll talk through transcripts and your family’s specific goals.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $1,000/month, charged only for the 10 months school is in session (Sept–June) — $10,000/year — with savings on quarterly and annual options, plus an extra one-time discount for our founding cohort of families.
When can we start?
Our first full school year runs from September 2027. Ahead of that, tutoring is already opening — book a call to be part of the first cohort.
