The Sudbury Valley School is a place where children are free. Their natural curiosity is the starting point for everything that happens at the school. Here, students initiate all their own activities. The staff, the plant, the equipment are there to answer their needs. Learning takes place in formal and informal settings, in large and small groups, or individually.
All ages are free to mix at all times.
The dynamics among students of different ages, helping each other learn about everything from human relations to math, is one of the greatest strengths of the school. Students share responsibility for their own environment, and for the quality of life at school.
