BRENTWOOD PARK MEETUP
SATURDAY, JULY 12, 2025
10 am to noon
brentwood park
destination Playground Pavilion
2924 Brazeau Ave

Is school avoidance a regular part of your family’s life? Are you seeing your child lose their love for learning? Are you looking for an alternative to the endless race of grades, homework, and focus on the future without living the present? Do you question what conventional schools call “soft skills” (communication, decision making, adaptability, critical thinking, conflict resolution, self-awareness, empathy, etc…) and that maybe such skills are “real life skills” that are essential to being a happy human who finds joy in enriching the world around them? Do you trust your child to practice independence?

Join us for a Meetup at Brentwood Park’s Destination Playground on Saturday, July 12! Drop in anytime between 10 am and noon, chat with Saint Louis Sudbury School students, parents, staff, volunteers, and board members at the incredible Destination Playground. Connect, ask questions, share experiences, and hang out!

Our school is based on the principle that we are born curious and learn best when we initiate our own learning. We offer fully child-led education for students age 5-18. Saint Louis Sudbury School students learn what they want, when they want, with whom they want, for as long as they want, to the depth of their interests, in the way that best suits them. With no coercive curriculum, homework, grades, or tests, Sudbury students have the freedom, space, and time to pursue their interests, discover who they are, and develop meaningful communication skills. All of this freedom to learn and to be is bounded by a structure where youth and adults work together to run the school.

At Saint Louis Sudbury School, we prioritize young people’s well being, happiness, and ability to adapt to a changing world. We accept new enrollments year round.
