Join us for a behind the scenes look at our community where life is learning and learning is life. We offer fully Self-Directed Education for students age 5-18. With no coercive curriculum, homework, grades, or tests, Saint Louis Sudbury School students have the freedom, space, and time to pursue their interests, discover who they are, and develop life-long communication and decision making skills. We prioritize young people's well-being, happiness, and ability to adapt to a changing world.
