The Liberty School

Dear Liberty Family and Friends,

As we enter this season of gratitude, I am reminded of the countless moments of joy, growth, and success that The Liberty School has brought to the children and families we serve. Our mission is brought to life every day, thanks to the generosity of our community. Having served with The Liberty School for more than fifteen years, I am honored to have played a part on our remarkable journey and to witness firsthand the kindness, dedication, and passion that defines our school.

We are deeply thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in each child’s life. Our work is about more than academics; it’s about building confidence, fostering a love of learning, and helping children recognize the unique strengths that come with thinking differently. My own daughter started attending The Liberty School last year, giving me the chance to see these same traits grow in her. Hearing her eagerly and confidently reading aloud nearly brings me to tears every time.

Through the collective efforts of our donors, volunteers, our tireless staff, and the entire Liberty family, we are able to continue changing lives, as echoed in the words of our parents: 

And now, after just two months, he finds joy in reading to me. I’ve been waiting his entire life for this moment. Liberty is life-changing in every sense of the phrase. ~Abbie Wick

I have never seen him so proud of himself and comfortable in all his 12 years. It’s painful to think of what this year could have been like had he stayed in public school. Instead, he is thriving! You have made a life-changing difference in my child’s life, and I am eternally grateful. ~Jess Schneider

Most importantly, they re-instilled confidence in our son and his light has returned. He knows his brain works differently and loves that about himself. The school does a wonderful job balancing rigorous academic intervention with support and compassion. ~The Selzler Family

These heartfelt testimonies reflect the true impact of our work, made possible by people like you who believe in our mission. We are beyond grateful for the support of our community which allows us to continue to provide this vital, life-changing education for children with dyslexia. As we look to the future, we invite you to join us in ensuring that every child with dyslexia has the chance to flourish. Your donation can help us to reach the following goals in three crucial areas:

Scholarships ($40,000)
Our scholarship funding ensures that students, regardless of their families' financial means, can receive an education tailored to their unique needs. Their access to The Liberty School's program depends directly on your generosity.

Teaching Capacity ($20,000)
Our dedicated staff plays a critical role in shaping our students' lives. Your contributions help us retain and develop exceptional teachers and maintain low student-teacher ratios, essential for supporting students with dyslexia.

Curriculum Innovation ($10,000)
To stay at the forefront of dyslexia education, we must continually invest in innovative curriculum resources. Your support will enable us to enhance our programs, giving our students the tools they need to thrive.

As you celebrate with loved ones this Thanksgiving, please consider extending your generosity to The Liberty School. Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact on our students and the future of our school. Thank you for your generous support, and we send warm wishes to you and your family for a joyful, meaningful holiday season!

With heartfelt gratitude,
Christian Holmen,
Head of School
