Freebrook Academy is divided into two sections. The first is K – 6th grade or the “lower school”. The second is the “upper school”, which includes 7th – 12th grade. Additionally, at Freebrook each grade is combined with at least other grade. Kids work within the community by creating murals, collecting and sharing data, creating a youtube campaign, or leading a community meeting. Freebrook also believes that learning goes beyond the textbook and grades, and focuses on personal experiences and community development.
The school focuses on a curriculum that is based on enriching a students understanding of their community and culture as they ask students to “challenge injustices, think independently and critically, develop their talents, love learning, and become innovative adults.” By taking a progressive and community-based approach, students at Freebrook have an active role in the operation of the school and the creation of their shared school experiences. For example, students can propose change in the school, lead meetings, teach electives, etc. Additionally, teachers acts as facilitators where they support student learning through student direction, student exploration, and sensory/experience based learning.

The Great House Order is in partnership with the UNIA-ACL of the Right Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey, under the leadership of the 9th President General Senghor Jawara Baye.
The UNIA-ACL GREAT HOUSE DIVISION #999 is a local government, based in New York City, that is a part of the Government of the UNIA-ACL. The UNIA-ACL or Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, was founded by the Right Excellent and Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey in 1914.

The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey's vision was to have a government for and by the Afrikan peoples of the world. And so he created the constitution that gave us the first fully functional government under our direction, authority, and command, in the post colonial world.
Many organizations came afterwards proposing nationhood but none has/had given us a fully fledged governmental infrastructure from which to fully govern (outside the commendation of the colonizers).
The GREAT HOUSE DIVISION #999 is an extension of the UNIA-ACL and will continue the cause of increasing the knowledge of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey's vision, push for economic sovereignty, build community, culture, and promote health awareness and application.
