Many high school students might feel like school is a struggle or they’ve had some problems within their school programs. Freedom Center Academy is working with students on an individual basis to help them find a new way to their education.

Ryan Casiere is in the ninth grade and had some challenges so he turned to the Academy for help. The teacher teaches hands on and not in front of a whole class. Ryan Casiere's mother, Anne Casiere, said she is extremely happy with the results and has seen a huge attitude change in her son.

“He talks more, he’s was kind of shy and withdrawn that was one of my concerns when I had him going into high school,” Anne Casiere said.

Many of the students have had their own challenges and the director of the program, Angie Ashurst, has dedicated her lives to these children.

“These are really good kids that want a high school diploma, that either through pressures or bad influences of their peer groups in school they are making wrong decisions,” Ashurst said.

The school is always looking for help and is asking anyone who can to step in. "We are in desperate need of people who are willing to sponsor and donate, the growth of this school could be exponential with the backing and support with the funding of the community.”
