Work At Bene Kids Space 2015 – 2016
Who We Are
Bene Kids Space is a small libertarian alternative to school for home schooled children aged 3-11. We are located in a lush valley in the beautiful Alpujara mountains in the south of spain, at the centre of an open off the grid anarchistic community; definitely a unique context for living and learning. Founded by an idealistic mum in Summer 2014, we now have 2 full time staff and a resident artist supporting 16 children (most of whom come part time) from 14 families.

We are also offering an equal share of donations and a chance to collaborate as an equal partner with staff and parents to work towards the best education possible.
