Join our community for teachers and school leaders

The Smartphone Free Childhood Schools Network is a supportive community for teachers and school leaders working together to create change.

A movement of educators

Across the country, schools are rethinking the role of smartphones in childhood; questioning whether constant connectivity is really what young people need, and exploring the benefits of smartphone free schools – and childhoods. 

The Smartphone Free Childhood Schools Network is here to support school leaders on that journey. It’s a community of educators who believe children deserve time to thrive free from addictive algorithms — and who are taking steps, big or small, to make that happen in their schools.

Getting more involved

The SFC Schools Network is a supportive community for schools making change in whatever way works for them. Being part of the network means:
