The Mission:

In the heart of Santa Ana, California... 

La Escuela Freire will be a public, college preparatory high school housed  in downtown Santa Ana (specific location TBA).  It will serve approximately 400 students and their families, at least 75% of them Santa Ana residents.   

Fully complying with government standards for accountability, La Escuela Freire will offer students an education in world and word that:
 
  • is rigorously intellectual, ethical, aesthetic, and interdisciplinary;
  • is defined by problem-solving and collaborative learning rooted in a community;
  • facilitates student responsibility, power, and leadership.

 

      With the active involvement of students, educators, parents and the community, La Escuela Freire will become a national exemplar of small-school best practices as well as a site for the professional development of teachers and administrators to benefit the entire Santa Ana Unified School District and community.
