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?
