Life is Our Curriculum
"Education is not preparation for life; education is
life itself."
— John Dewey
Hudson Valley Sudbury School is a democratic school for students from
kindergarten through high school. It is one of over 30 Sudbury schools worldwide, based on a
philosophy of education pioneered by the Sudbury Valley School in 1968. Hudson
Valley Sudbury School was founded in 2004 in Woodstock, NY.
Sudbury schools take a radically different approach to education and school
homework help. The Sudbury philosophy believes that success in life is determined by a person's
character more than a specific body of knowledge. That’s why we don’t mind it when students work on their tasks together, ask, “Can I pay someone to do my homework?”, and combine rest with studies. We think they deserve to be trusted to find their own way in this world. All we have to do is offer the support they need.
As a result of this belief, the structure of
the school supports the development of qualities such as confidence, independence,
resourcefulness, persistence and responsibility. With these qualities a person can easily obtain
the knowledge they need to succeed.
At Sudbury schools the students create their own curriculum. They exercise
their rights and responsibilities as members of an active democracy. Most importantly, they
accomplish the difficult task of defining themselves.
