Welcome to freedom side!
At Freedom Side School we provide a free K-5 education rooted in abolitionist values to children impacted by incarceration. We nurture our students as visionaries, organizers, and architects of a more free world.

After 5 years of thoughtful planning and organizing, we are happy to announce that Freedom Side School will open our doors and welcome our first class of students in September 2026!
We are building an institution for our community that is sustainable and that can last. That’s why we’re committed to raising all of the funds needed to operate Freedom Side for its three founding years before we open our doors next year. Through our Open the Doors campaign, Freedom Side is working to raise $2M over the next year. Resource Generation Philadelphia has committed to raising half of our $2M goal through a matching campaign.
