Roundtable: Singapore Democratic School

Description

**Children learn best when they are allowed the autonomy to pursue their own interests.** Join us for our Roundtable conversation! A small community of people came together in 1968 in Framingham, United States. Their goal? Set up a school where children are truly in charge of their own learning. No grades, no exams, and no mandatory lessons. What the school offers is an environment that supports the natural curiosity of each child. When children are in charge of their own lives, remarkable things happen. Graduates of the Sudbury Valley School have a long-standing track record of achieving success later in life. This sparked the democratic school movement with [hundreds of democratic schools](https://www.progressiveeducation.org/approaches/democratic-self-directed-education/ "https://www.progressiveeducation.org/approaches/democratic-self-directed-education/") around the world. We are gathering people, resources, and founding families to establish the first democratic school in Singapore. Want to take part? Join us for our Roundtable discussion. We are meeting at SMU Connexion near Open Kitchen.
