The Alternative Education Resource Organization (AERO) is one of the highest trafficked alternative education resources online. People searching for topics surrounding alternative education, democratic education, Montessori, Waldorf, and progressive education, homeschooling, unschooling, and education reform find themselves on AERO's website.

AERO readers hail from every corner of the world with the majority coming from the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia. With our effort to increase our Spanish-language offerings (including AERO's partnership with Educacion Alternativa and our Spanish-language School Starter's online course) we expect to increase our share of Spanish-speaking readers.

Our new website redesign is meant to put front and center the ideas and organizations that advance and support the education revolution: the global movement toward learner-centered, self-empowered education. Our new front page highlights critical articles, essays, and news from around the world. Our goal is to present the work of the alternative education community in the most attractive way possible.

Pages that prove very popular for our readers, aside from our front page and articles, include our resources page (which catalogs various links related to alternative education), our job listings page (where AERO member schools and organizations can post openings), the list of our member schools and organizations, the list of democratic schools, and resource pages for higher education and homeschooling/unschooling. In addition to these spaces where you could advertise, we have a newsletter that goes out to our list of about 13,000 people an average of once per week and includes a sidebar ad space.

If your business, organization, or school would like to advertise on the AERO site, select which advertising option you'd like (indicate your choice in the comments section of your order or by email), and term (3, 6, or 12 months).  Based on the length and terms you select, discounts range from 10% all the way up to 60% off!

 

Read below for details before ordering. Examples of ads can also be found below. Remember to change the quantity to the total amount of your order.  For example, a newsletter ad purchased for one year at $1,000 would need the quantity changed to 1,000.  Contact us at jerryaero@aol.com with any questions.
