BREAKING NEWS:
Harriet Tubman Democratic High School is Born! Read more...
 Founded
in 1969, The Free School in Albany is the
longest running inner-city democratic school in
the country. The Harriet Tubman Free
School (HTFS) was formed in order to continue
the alternative education traditions into grades
nine through twelve. We offer a safe and
personal learning environment for teenagers from
diverse backgrounds. Our staff strives to
teach young adults how to think for themselves
by encouraging critical discussions and
respecting student input into their educational
process. Our students learn
self-motivation and, in the process, discover
independence and self-reliance.
In keeping with Harriet Tubman’s remarkable
example of courage and conviction,
the Harriet Tubman Free School teaches young
adults
appreciation for peoples of diverse backgrounds
and experiences. HTFS also teaches an
understanding of the democratic principle of
equality, with an aim towards carrying this
community consciousness beyond our students'
participation in our school.
