TECH Freire Charter School

TECH Freire Charter School offers a top-notch college-preparatory education in the liberal arts, computer science and entrepreneurship.

TECH Freire (pronounced “free-AIR-ee”) offers the rigorous liberal arts education of the original Freire Charter School, with the addition of education in computer programming and entrepreneurship. The mission of all Freire schools is to provide a college-preparatory learning experience with a focus on real-world learning, critical thinking, and problem solving in an environment that emphasizes th

e values of community, teamwork, and nonviolence. At TECH Freire, computer science and entrepreneurship programming does not only teach students valuable skills they will need to thrive in the fast-paced and rewarding workplace of the future. Integrated into Freire’s strong liberal arts curriculum, computer programming and entrepreneurship become powerful tools in the hands of students and teachers as they work together to build their futures. Freire Charter School has a demonstrated track record of producing high academic results among low-income, urban student populations. We are successful in getting students into college (96% of the Class of 2015 enrolled in college, with an average scholarship per student of $40,571). Consistently, 85% of our graduates return to college for their second year—a norm-defying college persistence rate that is a testament to students being well-prepared at Freire. Building on 17 years of success at Freire Charter School, TECH Freire Charter School will serves 9th-12th grade students with a specialized college prep program, and currently serves students in grades 9-11.

TECH Freire and Freire High students brought the energy (and a little friendly competition) to Puttshack this week!

Nearly all of our senior Experienceship students from TECH Freire and Freire High came together for a hands-on networking event—where they didn’t just learn about networking, they practiced it in real time. From building confidence to making meaningful connections, students showed up ready, and even competed for prizes based on their networking skills.

This experience would not have been possible without the incredible mentors from the Junto 8 group through Leadership PHL, who led small groups and shared their expertise. Thank you to:

Jasmine Tate-Supplee (Shafir’s Journey)
Charlene Chick (Jefferson Health Plans)
Eric Nash (PECO)
Matt Baker (Vanguard)
Wanda Richards (PNC)
Carl Randolph (Philadelphia Fire Department)
Eli Kulp (High Street Hospitality Group)
Paula Solomon (CB Community Schools)

We’re so grateful for their time, mentorship, and commitment to our students’ growth. Experiences like this are exactly what prepare our students for success beyond high school.

TECH Freire students stepped into the future at Temple University’s Engineering Expo last Thursday.

Ten of our 10th and 11th grade students spent the day at Temple’s College of Engineering engaging in live demonstrations, interactive exhibits, and meaningful conversations with industry professionals and faculty. They explored engineering majors, discovered potential career pathways, and built connections with college representatives and peers. The future of STEAM is looking bright!
