Admissions

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in The Freedom School.

The Freedom School is not an ordinary educational institution. It is a community with a unique history and distinctive vision.

In 1847, John Berry Meachum, an ex-slave, created a school on a riverboat in Saint Louis, Missouri called The Freedom School, in order to set children free from the bonds of slavery. In 1997, one hundred fifty years later, The Freedom School (University City, Missouri) was founded to do the same.

The Freedom School welcomes children from all walks of life and frees their minds, hearts, and hands from the bonds of sin to serve one another and the oppressed around the world.

The Freedom School provides a safe, nurturing, learning community where children of different beliefs, races, ethnicities, and economic circumstances are reconciled to God and to one another by experiencing forgiveness by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. They are equipped by our knowledgeable and caring staff using a rigorous, research-based curriculum to reach their unique potential as restored image-bearers and servant-leaders of God who steward his creation and proclaim his kingdom of righteousness through practical deeds of justice and mercy to those in their school, local community and around the world.

This community offers great rewards for families. In return, we ask for your commitment to be our partner in accomplishing it goals. As a parent myself, I understand that choosing a school is a difficult decision. We are happy to assist you in the application for enrollment process.  Please call Deborah Young, Administrative Assistant, or myself at 314-432-7396 or email us at dyoung@tfsstl.org or tbaker@tfsstl.org.

Your Servant in Christ,

Timothy Baker
Head of School
