In 1999, the Philadelphia Freedom Schools city-wide movement began.  Philadelphia Freedom Schools took the movement to another level by introducing its Junior Servant Leadership program, which placed high school students in the classroom with college interns to help develop the scholars.  In the summer of 2006, the Philadelphia Freedom Schools launched their very own curriculum model and became a network of independent freedom schools.  Always looking for ways to better serve its community, Philadelphia Freedom School created pathways that rooted its scholars in classical African ways of thinking and being.  It also reclaimed the original freedom school model and included numeracy in the Philadelphia Freedom School curriculum.
