CCI FREEDOM SCHOOLS
The CCI Freedom Schools are sponsor sites of the Children's Defense Fund Freedom Schools®. We serve children from the Greater Trenton Area in grades K - 8 by offering quality summer reading enrichment and STEM programming at no cost to their families. All of our students receive 2 meals and a snack each day, have the opportunity to take field trips, and learn new skills from our dedicated team.
​
Thanks to the generosity of Villa Victoria Academy and the College of New Jersey, we are able to host the CCI Freedom Schools in safe settings with plenty of space for our students to learn and have fun.
