Freedom Schools Express (FSX) program provides free, comprehensive, culturally-relevant summer and afterschool enrichment to children in high-poverty areas. The program helps children fall in love with reading, increases their self-esteem, generates more positive attitudes toward learning and connects their families with needed resources in the community. This program is proven to curb summer learning loss and help close the opportunity gap.

FSX is held immediately afterschool for two hours, two days a week (Mondays-Thursdays). Afterschool programs begin in October.

Scholars are offered a snack/light meal. Currently, each family must arrange own transportation. Freedom Schools Express Site Leaders and/or Clerks can assist families with exploring transportation options provided through SPPS DAE and Metro Transit Passes and/or Tokens. A parent/guardian must arrive at school at the end of each FSX session to accompany their student(s) home. Students will not be allowed to leave the building to take Metro Transit without a parent/guardian. Transportation is now provided for Freedom School Express at Capitol Hill on Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:15-6, and Hazel Park on Mondays/Wednesdays 4-5:45pm.
