Connecting Sudbury Schools
We are a network of schools inspired by the Sudbury Valley School model, providing a platform for sharing, collaboration, and support within the self-directed learning community.

What is Sudbury International?

Sudbury International is a network that connects and supports schools inspired by the Sudbury Valley School model—a model that has been around for over half a century and has been interpreted in many different ways across the world. We are not a franchise, an accrediting body, or a rulebook. Instead, we provide:
  • A space for Sudbury schools

    to connect and learn from each other

  • A platform to share

    the many ways people practice self-directed education

  • Resources and support

    for those exploring Sudbury learning

Accordingly, we let our members define the "Sudbury model" using their own voices. Reading these articles, you'll find many themes and practices that show up again and again.
