The starting point for all our thinking is the simple revolutionary idea
that a child is a person worthy of full respect as a human being.

Co-founder, Sudbury Valley School
 

Greenwood Sudbury School is one of a growing number of schools
based on the philosophy of Sudbury Valley School in Framingham,
Massachusetts. Founded in 1968, SVS has pioneered the "one person, one vote" model of democracy in education that promotes both freedom and responsibility. Each individual has a direct effect on all school decisions.

At Greenwood Sudbury School, each student is empowered with a
sense of self-determination, responsibility, and personal freedom.
Young people, ages 5 through 19, and staff interact in a community
atmosphere, teaching and learning from one another. Freedom of choice is at the heart of the school.
