Freire Wilmington

Freire Wilmington’s goal for our students is “Graduation x2”—success in and graduation from not just high school, but college as well. Our unique five-year high school program, starting in 8th grade, gives students the time and support they need to catch up and then excel.

Freire Schools’ proven college-preparatory academic program offers Delaware students a much-needed free, high-quality educational option, that is successfully preparing kids for college.  98% of Freire Wilmington’s Class of 2019 were accepted to college, with an average of more than 4 college acceptances per student. The Class of 2020 faced a unique set of challenges with COVID-19, and more students opted to take a gap year due to uncertainty about the pandemic’s impact on college. But, the Class of 2020 still made impressive strides toward their college goals, with acceptances to over 100 colleges and universities and more than $5.6 million earned collectively in scholarships and aid.  86% of graduates were accepted to at least one college.

This success is possible because the Freire Wilmington community is a true family, where students and teachers work together to build the future each student wants and deserves.
