Transform Learning Through Adventure
Our mission is to help raise a joyful generation of doers who will turn into our leaders, innovators, and inventors.
Our Village Approach to Learning
At our open learning environment, learners learn from each other in a supportive space that values different skills and abilities, while mixed ages foster social-emotional skills that help them connect with people of all ages.
Mixed Ages Workshops
Cultivate friendships and real-world skills by solving real-world problems. This project-based learning approach has been proven to challenge learners in very positive ways while helping them retain more information and develop resilience.
Engaging Quests
Mentors experienced at conflict resolution & motivating children along their own hero’s journey to become the world changer they’re meant to be.
Mentors
Children will be able to work on their core lessons at their own pace allowing their strengths to excel and more time for what may feel more difficult via our badge system.
Socratic Circles will challenge their critical thinking so they’re ready to change the world.
Mastery Focused
Most learners who are bored and anxious feel they are not challenged in school. Our approach encourages children to embrace hard things and set personal learning goals based on their passions, so they can discover their true potential.
Learner Driven
“Our role as adults is not to force them to follow the track we’ve laid out for them; it’s to help them develop the skills to figure out the track that’s right for them.”
- William Stixrud & Ned Johnson
Village Culture
Our village culture is based on the principles that Freedom Family is using to end the loneliness crisis. They have three books that helps define their culture and so do we! Each family that enrolls in the Freedom Thinkers School will be required to read the three books below.
Required Reading

This book is a look back at a portion of how our founding fathers were taught. Our hero’s journey craves complexity plus meaning in life. This book is great at inspiring adults & teens to enjoy the journey that is life while finding ways to critically think deeply about what is going on in the world around them!
