Harriet Tubman Free School


Student & UkuleleFounded 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 in the face of oppression, the Harriet Tubman Free School teaches youth 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 their participation in our school.
