List of democratic schools

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a comprehensive list of current and former democratic schools. Most of these were modeled on the Summerhill School, the oldest existing democratic school founded in 1921. This list also includes sub-branches of democratic schools such as Sudbury schools inspired by the Sudbury Valley School and certain free schools that align with the broad principles of democratic education.
