In 2009, Freedom Preparatory Academy welcomed 90 students in Southwest Memphis, dedicated to preparing students from Pre-K through 12th grade to excel in college and life. Today, with six schools and nearly 2,000 students, Freedom Prep is transforming education for students in Memphis, TN, and Birmingham, AL.

Founded by Roblin Webb, a native of Camden, Arkansas, who recognized the urgent need for high-quality, college-preparatory education in the South, Freedom Prep has achieved remarkable results. In a state where Tennessee saw a college-going rate of 44% for Black students in 2021, Freedom Prep continuously defies the odds, boasting a remarkable 100% college admission rate for all eight classes of our graduating seniors!

Roblin's journey began at Rhodes College in Memphis, but her passion for civil rights and social justice led her to law school at Rutgers University. Returning to the South, she shifted her career to focus on education, creating an organization dedicated to elevating education for all students across the South.

As Freedom Prep celebrates 15+ years of impact, we’re excited to change lives for our Birmingham elementary students with the opening of our inaugural FPA Alabama campus in September 2024.
