K-12 Private
School
Freedom Academy began as
a K-8 private school in the 2007-2008 school year. Families work
with a Learning Consultant to define a educational strategy
for each student, identify helpful resources for achieving
the educational strategy, and monitor progress under that plan with regular
team meetings. In addition, Freedom Academy
families will meet as a group on a monthly basis for discussions and
group projects.
Freedom Academy expanded to a K-12 private school in the fall of
2008.
Purpose
The
Freedom Academy allows families to:
-
Work
with a learning consultant.
The learning consultant can provide suggested approaches and
resources based on his experience and the Freedom Academy’s resource
library. The learning
consultant provides a viewpoint for observing and assessing the
student’s educational progress, and assists in developing a
portfolio or transcript in the upper grades.
-
Work
with other students on collaborative, student-initiated
projects.
-
Meet
the needs of their individual students, through participation in a
private school program.
Admissions
Proceedure
Families apply for admission
to the Freedom Academy, and schedule an
admission interview.
There is a nonrefundable $25 application fee. At the
interview the lead Learning Consultant assesses whether the
student’s and family’s needs can be appropriately met through the
Freedom Academy program.
If accepted for admission, the family will:
-
Choose
a Learning Consultant from a panel of available Learning
Consultants.

a payment plan.
Program
Operations
The
Learning Consultant will meet with each learner/facilitator team at
the beginning of the year to develop and document an educational
strategy for the year.
The educational strategy will be the basis for periodic
meetings with the Learning Consultant.

precise role of the Learning Consultant will vary depending on the
needs and preferences of each core team. At a minimum, the Learning
Consultant will:
-
Check
in with the learner and the facilitating educator to monitor
progress under the educational strategy.
-
Encourage
the facilitating educator and learner to document their observations
on learning.
-
Maintain
official school records for each learner, and
-

information on learning approaches and styles, help plan leaning
projects, help build a portfolio or transcript, and help assess the
learner’s progress.
