Our Mission
Our mission is to not only prepare all students for success in college and in life but also to close the achievement gap that persists in our city. Through intense, rigorous instruction and a focus on character development, we provide our students with the skills and experiences needed to become strong, capable citizens. With approximately 2,000 students in grades PreK-12 across Tennessee and Alabama, Freedom Prep is dedicated to offering high-quality, tuition-free educational opportunities to all students across the South.
