The Workshop/Class Registration Form is NOW AVAILABLE!

Hello all!

If you are interested in FACILITATING a workshop or class, please download the form below (Word format), fill it out, save it, and email it back to our main email address: freedomschoolsla@gmail.com.

Below is a short summary of our goals:

Freedom Schools – Los Angeles is an autonomous, grassroots movement organized by community members, students, and educators to address the educational needs of our community. Rather than supplement the shortcomings of public education, our goal is to create an alternative educational space that :
  • Emphasizes learning over memorization
  • Encourages critical thinking
  • Honors the value of manual skills and labor
  • Empowers participants to become active in their communities to struggle against social injustice.

We welcome any class or workshop that promotes these goals and are receptive to all methods of learning and teaching.

Download registration form HERE.

The Freedom Schools - Los Angeles Blog is now Active!

Hello all!

Our first home was on our Facebook page, and that will remain in place, but we have also created this blog in response to many you out there who are not on Facebook.

So with that out of the way, Welcome!

Please take the time to read our brief mission statement on right-hand side. We are presently at work on a much more in depth document which will better articulate the goals and philosophical principles of the school.

Since late April, we have been consistently meeting to theorize, discuss, and plan out how the schools will work. While our numbers have been increasing every week as more people find out about us, we obviously need all the help we can get. So drop on by and learn how how you can contribute to this movement. Details on the next meeting date, time, and location are forthcoming.

In solidarity.
