The program emphasizes interactive science research and projects that make use of the on-site CENS lab, greenhouse, aquarium, hydroponics, diverse habitats, and pond.

Freedom High Schools aims to create a sustainable society of students that embodies respect and care for the community of life and ecological integrity.
