The school is affiliated with Mennonite Church, but welcomes students of all denominations. It serves the greater Freeman community primarily, but those enrolled hail from neighboring communities and states, as well. Traditionally, the school also welcomes foreign exchange students, giving Freeman Academy a multi-cultural dimension each school year. School enrollment generally falls between 70-80 students. Boarding is available for students wishing to attend from a distance.

The school distinguishes itself through a curriculum that focuses on "Faith and the Arts" with a student-to-teacher ratio far smaller than traditional public high schools.

Freeman Academy athletics features cross country, soccer, volleyball, basketball, track and golf; its mascot is the Bobcats.

In the 2012-2013 school year, the school added grades 1-4 to the curriculum. The classroom teaching replicates the "one room schoolhouse" concept. Students enrolled in grades 1-4 receive hands-on, project-based learning.
