“We are honored to be Partners-in-Education with Freese! We would wish that every school in San Diego had the kind of arts programming that this school offers. What a giant step forward that would be in the education of all our children!”

“Our emphasis in geography has allowed Freese students to see outside of themselves and to better understand the importance of world cultures.  Students' involvement in The National Geographic Society's yearly competition is an enjoyable way for them to learn more about the world and something that is eagerly anticipated each December-January.  Our children have attained skills in geography that allow them to better understand the entire State of California History/Social Science Framework!”
Dan Pugh
Freese Teacher

"When our students move on, they will remember the art projects they did in each grade.  After all, when you think back to your fond memories of elementary school, most of what you remember was related to friendships and art.  These are memories to cherish for a lifetime."
Dexter Dimacali
Freese Teacher

“Children learn by making connections.  In our magnet program, the students not only learn the specific content knowledge of dance, art, theater, and music, but make connections to other subject areas.  They also learn key life skills such as responsibility, patience, perseverance, compassion, and respect.”

“I like the magnet program because it is fun. I mean, dance, art, drama, music…I never want to leave this school!”

“The magnet program is very important to Freese because it gives us ways to express ourselves by acting, singing, dancing, and more. It’s not just about having fun. It may seem like it, but you are really learning something.”
