SB Free is a student-led middle and high school program in Santa Barbara, California.
We follow in the rich tradition of self-directed, democratic Free Schools. Grounded in responsibility to ourselves, our community, and our environment– together, we co-create our school and our future through direct democracy.
Self Direction
Self-direction + mentorship live at the heart of our philosophy.
Students in our Dual Enrollment program can graduate better equipped and better prepared for college than their conventionally schooled peers, with years of college credit on their transcripts.
