The Brooklyn Free School (BFS) was founded in 2004 by educators and parents. Our mission is to educate for social justice by addressing current social issues connected to the system of white supremacy. In addition to general classes we also provide a host of student interest classes that include ancient Africa, psychology, kitchen science, exploring energy, talking Marxism, fashion, and technology. We serve students ages 4-18 by prioritizing individual learning and from the perspective of societal change. In addition, our student population is from multiple racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds with varied socioeconomic backgrounds to bring different perspectives to the community.
