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
What is the Sudbury model?
Sudbury International is a diverse group of schools and learning centers. Although we can all trace our origins, directly or indirectly, back to Sudbury Valley School (est. 1968), we each have a slightly different take on what it means to be "Sudbury."
Instead of trying to define Sudbury, we've compiled a list of articles by founders and staff members of various schools and centers, who each define Sudbury in their own words. Reading these articles, you'll find there are many core themes and practices that show up again and again.
