Freedom Home

“One thing’s for certain, there will not be a student that came out of Freedom Home Academy ill-prepared academically,” says Marcus Kline. After their first son was born, Marcus and his wife, decided to homeschool their son, developed the school’s original curriculum based on neuroscientist Glenn Doman’s flash method. The school opened in February of 2008, for parents who were looking for alternatives to the public schools in Chicago. Since then, they’ve welcomed hundreds of students through their doors, expanding into a School of Literacy for kids coming out of daycare. Academic rigor and an understanding of culture remains at the heart of the curriculum at Freedom Home Academy.Even students who were failing in, (and/or were failed by) the public system, have gone on to achieve academic excellence, either when transferring to elite private high schools or going on to elite universities. Marcus tells the heartbreaking-turned-life-affirming story of C.J., who went from a class pariah at his previous school to Dean’s List thanks to Freedom Home’s commitment to reaching students where they are. His own son Oba makes an appearance to demonstrate how effective the Academy’s methods are in children as young as five. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
