An Introduction to Democratic Education

• Are you looking for Educational Alternatives for your child?
• Are you looking for a school that puts the emphasis on learning and growth rather than grades, tests, and homework?
• Are you hoping your children will find joy, kindness, and an atmosphere of trust at school?
• Are you looking for an educational option that supports your child’s unique strengths and qualities?
• Do you believe schools should conform to the child’s needs and not the other way around?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then our community discussion on Democratic Education, and our new school, South Mountain Co-op, will be of great interest to you. Please join us and help spread the word about this timely conversation.
