a: Academic programs provide opportunities for 1 on 1 student/teacher time, as much time as needed to understand a concept. Courses are guided, but also allow for self-paced learning for those that wish to take advantage of this.
b. Classes are offered in a wide variety of subject areas, such as Eastern Philosophy, Film Appreciation, Sculpture, Work for Credit (mentoring for Habitat for Humanity). However, the music programs were cut for Albuquerque Public School systems many years back (at elementary and middle school levels), so there is not enough demand to offer music at this school.
c. I am currently not aware of academic or athletic awards, as this is a small school without organized sports teams, and caters to alternative students (homeless, gifted, mentally ill, parents, those who wish to return to school to graduate later in life, students who have been incarcerated, abuse victims, state wards, orphans, students that need to work and attend school, emancipated minors, etc.). These students are far too busy learning to be sidetracked by sports.
d.Freedom High School resides on a small campus, devided by three buildings, and student parking. Two buildings are dedicated to teaching and administration. The third, is a recently constructed Gym, allowing the students to participate in P.E. onsite. Students previously had to walk 1/2 mile to the YMCA to participate in P.E. This is a major source of joy for Freedom High School!
e. This school is an Alternative High School, and unfortunately, many of the parents' of the students are simply not interested in the education of their children, or are unavailable to participate in their education. However, Freedom High School assigns an advisor who meets with each student every week to assess how the student is performing, if there is anything that can be provided to the student to help them to excel, and to find out what is happening in the student's life. The advisors are teachers of the school (think of it like homeroom, but at a one-to-one basis), who genuinely care about the students, know about the students lives, and have come from situations of adversity themselves. They are really the only school I have attended in Albuquerque Public School system that adequately provided me with preparation for college and the work force. Without Freedom High School, many difficult students (for the teachers) would not have been able to graduate, and go on to excel in their lives! I am truly thankful for the teachers and staff at Freedom!

This is a great school to attend if you are lacking a couple credits. Class size small, some teachers do not have the best teaching methods. Don't expect to form a tight relationship with your class mates, work is self paced and students tend to be quiet. There are no proms, sports etc. Miss out on typical high school events. Plus side, pick your own schedule, change teachers classes every 6 weeks, which is nice in case a teacher isn't working out for you
