Trusting Children
A look at Sudbury education around the world
Published by Sego Lily School
"At Sudbury Valley it is assumed that each student constantly alters, renews, and adds to his or her model of the world, and each student is trusted to construct a unique world view through the interplay of inborn curiosity and experience... The gift of complete trust is expected to create adults who feel in control of their own lives; adults who have a high level of trust in themselves."
-Daniel Greenberg & Mimsy Sadofsky, Legacy of Trust
Founded in 1968, Sudbury Valley started a unique legacy of trusting children with their lives and their educations. Now, almost forty years later, over forty schools around the world have followed their lead of creating communities in which each person is honored and trusted.
Trusting Children: A look at Sudbury Education around the world is a collection of articles from many Sudbury model schools. While each school is unique, they share the basic philosophy that children are naturally curious and want to learn. Trusting Children shares with the reader the joys, challenges, and remarkable outcomes of schools that put education into the hands of the learners.
