What Is Sudbury?

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."


That's why, 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.
