This video is a glimpse into the life of our school. Enter a world of young people who are exuberant about their lives, and are fully in control of their education. We hope you will enjoy their spirit, their focus, and above all their intensity in pursuing their passions.
Our web page expands on this video with material about what a Sudbury education really means, where the ideas behind it come from, and why we are certain that Sudbury Valley is uniquely able to prepare children for the world of the 21st century.
t
Sudbury Valley School, students from preschool through high school
age explore the world freely, at their own pace and in their own unique
ways. They learn to think for themselves, and learn to use Information Age
tools to unearth the knowledge they need from multiple sources. They
develop the ability to make clear logical arguments, and deal with complex
ethical issues. Through self-initiated activities, they pick up the basics;
as they direct their lives, they take responsibility for outcomes, set
priorities, allocate resources, and work with others in a vibrant community.
rust and respect are the keys to the school’s success. Students
enjoy total intellectual freedom, and unfettered interaction with other
students and adults. Through being responsible for themselves and for the
school’s operation, they gain the internal resources needed to lead effective
lives.
udbury Valley School was founded in 1968. Located in an old stone mansion
and a converted barn on the mid-nineteenth century Bowditch estate, the
ten acre campus adjoins extensive conservation lands.
