Freedom Academy

"To enhance the quality of life for those who are willing to enrich their education"

Since 1991 thousands of people have taken advantage of Freedom Academy's adult continuing education program. Responding to high-quality, practical education and training at convenient locations, adult students in six northeastern Indiana counties have experienced rewarding outcomes in the Freedom Academy classroom. Those classrooms are the local high schools, middle schools and libraries in their hometown. They are also in the training rooms of business and industry.

The late Chester E. Dekko, Chairman of the Board of Group Dekko International and President of The Dekko Foundation, saw a need and filled it. A strong believer in education and personal development, his vision carries on today. Founded in 1991, Freedom Academy inspires people who wish to master a skill, enhance performance on the job or simply explore a hobby or craft. Course Offerings are available in DeKalb, Steuben, Noble, LaGrange, Whitley and Kosciusko counties throughout the year, while On-Site training for business and industry can be scheduled at anytime.

Students receive Continuing Education Units (CEU's) and certificates for successful class completions. A partnership with Vincennes University allows for a credit option for many of the Freedom Academy classes. For those people who desire formal validation in addition to the pure satisfaction of the learning experience, they may choose to take the Vincennes University credit option.

Our strategy is unique and effective - Connect adults who want to learn with experts in the field. Sharing valuable background experiences, the instructors are bridging the gap between theory and real-life applications. Enthusiastic students appreciate the value of the Freedom Academy classroom experience. Learning from the experts, creating the connection and making a difference.
