Knowledge gives your child power, and thus, it is the goal of Freire Wilmington to offer your child an array of challenging courses to maximize his or her powerful potential. Because we are a college preparatory school based in the liberal arts and sciences, Freire requires the successful completion of many, very specific classes from your child.
