The Democratic School

The Democratic School is an educational approach that emphasizes student choice, participation, and responsibility in learning. Instead of traditional teacher-led instruction, students help shape the school’s rules, activities, and curriculum, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement. This environment encourages critical thinking, independence, and social skills by promoting collaborative decision-making. The goal is to develop motivated, self-directed learners who are prepared to contribute thoughtfully to society, while respecting diverse perspectives and fostering a democratic community within the school.
