A new Birmingham charter school has been approved by a state commission.
A third charter school will soon open in Birmingham, with a focus on Black history and academic rigor.
“We’re excited about the opportunity,” said Justin Hampton, the network’s regional director, who is based in Montgomery. “I’m personally super excited as a resident of Alabama, seeing what Freedom Prep can do for students who desperately need another option. And I’m just really excited to have the opportunity personally to introduce that to Birmingham first, and then hopefully to other parts of the state as well.
The school plans to conduct a lottery in June 2023 and start classes that fall. It has no testing requirements for enrollment.
