HOMEY'S approach to academics is to focus on skills that will lead to critical analysis and thought. We believe in the Frerian approach that, "Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information." We work with participants to want to learn for their own experiences and self-awareness and critical consciousness.
