Reach Sudbury School opening in Toronto – Fall 2011
Some really great, dedicated folks are involved in bringing the Subury Valley School model to Toronto next year. Here’s a bit about what to expect from Reach Sudbury School of Toronto, slated for opening in fall 2011:
We will be following the Sudbury model of education, pioneered by the Sudbury Valley School (www.sudval.org), which has been running in Framingham, Massachusetts since 1968. The main tenets of the Sudbury approach are self-directed learning (which means students choose their own activities; learn what they want, when they want, and how they want; and self-evaluate) and participatory democracy (in which staff and students together make and enforce school rules, budget for resources, etc.).
We are currently looking for a site in central-east Toronto with green space and room for a variety of activities. We are also looking for interested parents, students, and staff, as well as people who would like to help get the school off the ground. More information is available on our website (www.reachsudbury.ca) or by contacting us at reachsudbury@gmail.com. We are hosting bi-weekly information nights on both Toronto alternative education in general and also Reach in particular, and also have a Yahoo group (GTAfreedemschools@yahoogroups.ca).
If you can help them with a location or want to get involved, please don’t hesitate to contact them directly. I’ve already offered any assistance I can provide remotely.
