Started by Pastor Steven Perrilloux and his wife Rita, the aim of the school is “to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage into adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.”
According to the program’s brochure, children who participate in the Freedom School have improved their reading abilities and demonstrate a greater love of learning and positive changes in social adjustment.
