Welcome to the Toronto Free Skule
We use education as a tool for self-liberation, and collective resistance. We present an education founded in respect for everyone’s knowledge.
We are students, teachers, workers, community members, friends, and family; we are the oppressed and the privileged. We are the people, and we no longer consent to an education system that teaches us to compete with each other; a system that commodifies knowledge, denying the existence of multiple truths, and multiple ways of knowing.

Education,
in its current institutional form, separates us along lines of class,
gender, race, sexuality, able-bodiedness, and the 'gifted' from the
'slow'. It imposes a singular way of thinking that denies culture, and
community. In short, it conforms us to the workforce.
We
are individuals who have come together, to collectively break free from
the invisible shackles of neoliberal education. We no longer consent to
its narrow concepts of knowledge and being.
We
believe that the only way to break free, is to make visible the
illusion - questions Truths, knowledge, power, and ourselves - and
create an alternative together.
