Baltimore Free School

A 100% free educational institution in Baltimore. The Baltimore Free School is a grassroots, volunteer-run and community-funded project, based at 1323 N. Calvert. St.

The Baltimore Free School builds upon a long tradition of horizontal organizing, collaborative learning and participatory education, we believe that the empowerment of people of all ages and backgrounds to share and learn is vital to the health of any community.

To that end, we work toward creating a space where the exchange of ideas can occur without the exchange of money; a space where we can learn to relate to each other in new and meaningful ways. By building this infrastructure, we hope to form a microcosm of the world in which we want to live. Inspired by a growing network of similar projects in other cities, as well as the long tradition of anti-authoritarian education, we believe in creating a noncapitalist, noncoercive, and maximally horizontal infrastructure for teaching and learning from each other.
