…because learning doesn’t end when class is over.

The Kalayaan School for Equity is an organization dedicated to helping meet the educational needs of the Filipino community of North San Mateo County—whether it’s by providing relevant educational workshops, offering arts training, showcasing local talent, conducting community-based research, helping local students with academic help or enrichment activities, or by serving as a publisher to get the ideas and stories of our community out there.

Unfortunately, our community currently has limited access to information about Filipino history, arts, culture, and the issues facing our people locally and back home in the Philippines. For example, these things are not yet formally taught in our high schools and are only now being introduced into the curriculum at our community colleges. The Kalayaan School for Equity hopes to serve as a community-based learning center and curricular outlet to help fill this void.
