CCI FREEDOM SCHOOL
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.

About Our 2024 Team
CCI Freedom Schools are led by a group of devoted educators who put children and their learning journeys first.
Our Servant Leader Interns are eager to work with your children and tell them about their experiences in college as education, math, business, psychology, biology, sociology, and kinesiology majors.

All of our students will engage with books about people that look like them, STEAM and social action projects, field trips, and summer fun!
