Sudbury Schools



These schools practice a form of democratic education in which students individually decide what to do with their time. They learn in the process of ordinary experience rather than through classes or a standard curriculum. Pupils are responsible for their education and the schools are run by a direct democracy, where students and staffs have an equal vote. The model was an invention from Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts but it has been inspirational for many schools all over the globe.

Harkness Schools



These schools follow Harkness method, which is a teaching and learning method that involves students seated in a large, oval shape to discuss ideas in an encouraging, open-minded environment with only occasional or minimal teacher intervention. The method is widely used in the American schools and colleges and where small class sizes make it effective. The method was developed at Phillips Exeter Academy, and named over philanthropist Edward Harkness.
