What does your organization offer to Santa Barbara parents?
Santa Barbara Free School is a private day-school for teens, offering our community’s first student-led curriculum. We’re a launch pad for scholars, creatives, and athletes who are held back by conventional schools ― a “startup accelerator” for teens. Our classes, offerings, schedule, budget, and policies are all created by consensus. We offer a platform of deep and joyous learning where independent young people graduate better prepared than their peers for a changing world.
