Saint Louis Sudbury School is for students ages 5-18 who prefer self-directed learning in an age-mixed, self-governing community.

Hours & Attendance policy

School hours are 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

Students are not required to be at school the entire day. Minimum attendance is 5 hours per day, with full-time students attending 5 days per week. Part-time students attend 3 days per week.

To meet the 5-hour attendance requirement, the latest drop-off time is 10:30 am. Pick-up is 3 - 3:30 pm.

School Meeting

School Meetings occur three times a week. All students, volunteer staff, and board members are invited to meetings, although meetings are not mandatory, except on Wednesdays. This is where democracy happens! All decisions related to running the school are made here—one vote per person (whether you’re 5 years old or 50 years old). Have a field trip idea? Put it on the agenda! Think a school rule is unfair? Change it!

food

Currently, no breakfast or lunch is provided. Students bring their own food or ingredients to prepare at school. Staff should be made aware of any allergies within the community. There will be no scheduled mealtime or guaranteed supervision of what/when students eat while at school.
