Freerange Education Learning Centre

Freerange Education Learning Centre is a part of a global network of micro-schools, called Agile
Learning Centers (ALC). ALCs are on a mission to restore the joy of learning with a
surprisingly effective educational approach: intentional culture supporting self-directed learning
reinforced by agile management tools.

We are a democratic space and believe in learning through hands-on, spontaneous real-world experiences
based in the community. We recognise each young person as an individual, and strive to support their unique path of self-discovery.
