How can you get involved?

We need:

•        Families with children
    ages 4-19

•      Students

•      Staff Members

•      Social Entrepreneurs
& Professionals

We are committed to a Sudbury-
model, free democratic school and
are not open to discussion about
changing to other
alternative/progressive models of
education. However, we would be
happy to maintain a list of people who
indicate they are interested in starting
alternative and other kinds of schools
and connect them to one another as
the occasion arises.

If this has excited or intrigued you,
please contact us or come to a
meeting listed below. If you know of
any potentially interested individuals
or families, would you please give
them our contact information, or, with
their permission, give us theirs. We
also appreciate any feedback,
insights or suggestions that you may
have for us in this process. Thank
you so much!

The New London Freedom school seeks individuals, age 21
or older, who are ardently committed to children’s rights and
the democratic process, who have a thorough
understanding of the Sudbury school model or are
committed to educating themselves about it, with the desire
to be a part of the everyday school community and model
healthy, responsible adulthood and direct democracy for the
students. Opportunity for future employment — positions
will be paid in the second and subsequent school years.

Applicants must have the ability and willingness to
make a one-year commitment of 6-40 hours per week.
Applicants should have experience with children of
mixed-ages and be willing to work with children as
equal peers in the daily operations of the school.
Applicants must demonstrate commitment to the
Sudbury model of education and New London
Freedom School through willingness to protect a safe
learning space for children guided by the principle
that learning is best fostered by self-motivation,
self-regulation, and self-criticism. Criminal

be happy to work with college/graduate students and
professors to set up and monitor official internships.
