NO SCHOOL TODAY, Friday, February 22nd
Good Morning Freedom Families,
We have been diligently watching both the flash flood warnings and the water situation at the school over the past few hours. With many of the roads in the area being flooded, we are worried about the safety of our teachers and families traveling to and from the school. This, along with the campus being under water, damage to some of the rooms, and more rain expected to rain until this afternoon, we have decided to cancel school for today.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend!
Open Enrollment begins on February 1, 2019, and will close on February 15, 2019. Enrollment documents need to be dropped off to the Freedom Academy school office in order to finalize student enrollment. There will be a lottery, if needed on February 22, 2019. The week of February 25, 2019, families will be contacted to advise of enrollment status.
Freedom Academy is an open enrollment school of choice. Any student eligible to attend an Arizona public school may enroll. Students will be enrolled during our open enrollment period, culminating with a lottery for grades in which not all enrolled students can be accommodated. After the open enrollment lottery, students will be enrolled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Every attempt will be made to accommodate students seeking admission. However due to the capacity of our schools physical plant, the school is limited in its student enrollment. When that limit is reached, a waiting list is established based on the students' enrollment date and time. No applications will be deemed complete and date stamped until all documentation is received. Incomplete applications will not be considered for classes or wait lists. Once a spot is confirmed, students in grades 1-8 will be asked to complete a placement exam to prepare our staff for your child's needs.

Enrollment Policy
Freedom Academy’s Board adopted policy is in alignment with the state recommendation that a child must reach the age of five (5) prior to September 1st to be eligible for kindergarten and must be age six (6) by September 1st to be eligible for the first grade. We make no exceptions to this policy.
Early advancement of high achieving students is not advised in most cases. Instead, the goal of Freedom Academy will be to individually enrich the program of a high functioning student instead of advancing them to a higher grade.
