There is no recess at the Kekere Freedom School. Its roots are based on liberation and wisdom through play.
“Because we can climb, and inside we can’t really climb anything,” Indigo Simmons, a student said describing why he likes it.
“For me a huge part of what it means to decolonize childhood, to liberate kids through play, is to like let black and brown kids play,” Nuola Akinde, the founder of the Kekere Freedom School said.Akinde founded the home school co-op for preschoolers through fifth grade.
Subjects like math and science are taught in non-traditional way. There are also lessons about leaves and trees. Akinde wanted to create a joyful place for kids to learn about bias, while exploring and celebrating their diversity.Akinde’s goal is that when students move on to middle school, they have a deep understanding of who they are, what interests them and how to thoughtfully express themselves.
