“Our daughter has developed strong bonds with both the teachers and students and as parents, we enjoy being part of a very welcoming community in which we share the same values.”

“We have seen tremendous growth in our children. My son, who is in grade 1, went from not reading at all, to reading at a grade 2 level in 6 months. As a parent, I can rest easy knowing that my children are in the hands of amazing teachers and surrounded by a community of children and families who want an alternative to public education and need assistance in making the transition to homeschooling.”

“The teachers at the pod truly care about each child’s well being mentally and emotionally, how they are progressing academically, and encourage them to go further even beyond their own age in reading and math to challenge them”

“There were many days of tears and constant panic from our daughter feeling behind and no good compared to her peers. She was losing confidence in herself quickly and it was affecting so many things. Within a month of Freedom Teachers she was on track, not one day of tears and looking forward to every day of school. She is writing and reading above level now.”

“Our son was welcomed with open arms by teachers and students. Everyone made him feel included and safe and they treated him as a friend immediately. For the first time in his school life he is excited about learning and eager to share about his positive experiences at the pod.”

“Within two months, any concerns we had with socialization and separation anxiety were completely gone. The reduced stress has wiped out any developmental concerns that we had because it turns out that they weren’t developmental at all. I don’t believe that I can do a better job than what is being done in the pod. I still have the parental right and prerogative to ADD to what my children learn. I can do activities that support what they are working on in school, or I can expose them to any other information or ideas that I want them to know. I can even propose additional ideas that might be beneficial to the pod as a collective. The learning situation here is fluid, dynamic, and exciting.”
