I have already completed an application for the traditional LFCS school for the same school year of enrollment. Do I need to complete a separate application for Freedom Academy?

Yes. Our applications are slightly different, so you will need to complete a separate application for both the traditional LFCS application and Freedom Academy.

What happens after I apply and how do I know my student has been accepted?

After your application has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email. Upon review of your application, we will contact you via email to let you with next steps.

Can my child take classes through outside vendors?

Yes, as long as they are on our Approved Vendor List. In fact, we encourage your child to participate in these types of classes and we have an extensive list of approved vendors throughout San Diego County.  We are also quick to add new vendors as parents request them.

Do you offer any onsite enrichment classes?

Yes, we offer optional enrichment classes for all Freedom students. Courses change every trimester and meet weekly in 6 week blocks.

How much money will I receive towards enrichment?

Although each child receives a budget for the year, be assured that all curriculum and most all enrichment will fall within the allotted spending per child.

Can I chose my own curriculum?

Yes! We give you the freedom to chose the curriculum you know is best for your child’s learning. Out Teacher Consultants are here to offer professional advice and help you make the selections, but ultimately the choice is yours. You can also check out our Suggested Curriculum Lists under the Curriculum tab on our website.
