The Alliance for Self-Directed Education

The Alliance for Self-Directed Education is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting self-directed learning, where individuals choose what, how, and when they learn. It advocates for educational options that prioritize learners’ autonomy, emphasizing personalized, interest-driven experiences outside traditional school structures. The organization provides resources, research, and community support to empower learners of all ages to pursue education on their own terms, fostering lifelong curiosity, creativity, and independence. By doing so, it aims to transform education into a more flexible, inclusive, and learner-centered experience.
