"When I'm interested in something, I just type it into the computer and look it up. Most of the time, I find it. Sometimes I ask another kid stuff or my parents for help." — Eli, Student, Age 7
"{compulsory education}: Usually a twelve year sentence of mind control. Crushing creativity, smashing individualism, encouraging collectivism and compromise, destroying the exercise of intellectual inquiry, twisting it instead into meek subservience to authority.
The aim of [compulsory] education is not to spread enlightenment at all: it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."
— H. L. Mencken

If you would like to learn more, there are a many articles that discuss every aspect of the Sudbury model of education. We also host Open Houses throughout the year.  Open Houses offer interested parties a chance to tour the school and gain a deeper understanding of the sudbury philosophy by talking with HVSS staff, students and parents.
