Inside PFS Episode 5: Luke Interviews Tahj
by Luke Byrnes and Tahj Hardy

This was a fun interview because it was the first one that was genuinely student driven. Tahj persisted in getting this episode recorded, and we're very glad he did! He describes his experience of conventional school as being 'separated', while Philly Free School allows him to move freely from person to person and room to room. This episode is filled with these sorts of rich insights from Tahj as we discuss judicial committee, how the layout of the physical space affects things, and more. Enjoy!

Inside PFS Episode 4: Luke Interviews Grace
by Luke Byrnes and Grace Karkhanis

In this episode, we caught up Grace, a rare journey-person of democratic free schools. She currently splits her time between Philly Free School and Spring Valley School in Florida. We managed to sit her down for a conversation before she flew South for the winter.  PFS is the third democratic free school Grace's has attended as a student. We talk about her experiences at the different democratic free schools and her various pursuits during her time at Philly Free School. Enjoy!
