Paulo Freire Freedom Schools

PFFS - University was opened in August 2005 as a demonstration site/lab school for best instructional practices and small school design.

Free Tucson public middle schools (6-8) operated by CITY Center for Collaborative Learning as project-based learning school focused on social and environmental justice honoring the whole child. PFFS - Downtown opened in 2014 to implement these successful strategies in a completely redesigned delivery of interdisciplinary, problem-based, 'full immersion' social and environmental justice curriculum.

Happy Retirement!!!

Today was a bitter sweet day for our Paulo Freire and City High community as we bid farewell to one our Co-Founders Brett Goble. Brett has worked tirelessly over the years to help create a community built on improving public education for all students. The kindness and care he has shown to our students, staff, and families throughout the years has been nothing short of amazing. We will miss him and his heart of gold tremendously! Take to the comments below to wish Brett a farewell as he steps into his next chapter ❤️ We love you Brett and THANK YOU!
