Free School Movement

The Free School Movement is an educational reform initiative that began in the 1960s, promoting schools that operate independently from traditional school regulations. These schools emphasize student choice, personalized learning, and creativity, often rejecting standardized curricula and testing. They prioritize nurturing a child’s natural interests and encouraging exploration and collaboration over conventional teaching methods. The movement advocates for democratic governance in schools, where students, teachers, and parents actively participate in decision-making. The aim is to create an engaging learning environment that fosters critical thinking and personal growth, making education a more inclusive and tailored experience for all students.
