We LOVE The Freedom School. It is truly diverse, unlike other private schools in the area. The work with kids where they are and bring them forward academically, spiritually, socially, emotionally. The Freedom School looks at the whole child, unlike most any other school you could find and deals with children on the basis that they are all doing the best they can and with help and encouragement, they can reach even greater heights.

Unlike most schools in the St. Louis area, The Freedom school really is diverse (in terms of both race and economic background). The teachers are passionate about what they do, and Tim Baker, the head of the school is very accessible and up-beat. I feel my son gets a good quality education there, and we look forward to the Pinewood Derby every year!
