Ways to Support The Free School
The Free School is a living model of freedom, care, and community power.
In a time when schools are becoming more rigid, punitive, and disconnected from real life, the Albany Free School stands apart. It’s an independent school in Albany—and a rare space where education is built on trust, creativity, and love.
Here, students are not managed. They are seen. Heard. Believed in.
Now part of the Hudson/Catskill Housing Coalition—a Black-led organization rooted in public housing and community power—the Free School has entered a new chapter. Together, we are weaving education into the larger fight for housing justice, self-determination, and collective care.
Your support sustains:
A full-day learning environment centered on healing, creativity, and student voice
Free meals, outdoor education, and arts programming every child deserves
Tuition assistance that keeps the school open to working-class families
A model that offers not just education, but liberation
The Albany Free School is a blueprint for the future we’re building—where children are free, families are supported, and schools reflect the power of their communities.
Give today to protect and grow this vital space.
