What is the Sudbury model?
Sudbury International is a network of schools and learning centers inspired by Sudbury Valley School (est. 1968). There is no one right way to do Sudbury. 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.
