We are a volunteer group of educators, parents, and students
We fervently support public education but we know that it is time for a radical rearrangement to the structure of 'school'.
Our core belief: trust biology.
Trust that children are biologically driven through play, curiosity, and exploration to educate themselves.
We don't need to force-educate them, we need to provide the conditions which will allow them to educate themselves.
Those conditions are available in our schools. We just need to adjust how we use them.

We don’t force an acorn to grow.

what do kids who Direct their education look like as adults?

let's work together for change.
Let’s let go of the top-down structures and coercive practices.
Let's support students to become Free Learners and select the classes, tools, resources, and support which work for them. In essence, let's encourage our schools to operate more like community centres and libraries and less like a school.
Let's UNschool our schools.
Let’s find (and nurture) open-minded forward-thinking schools.
Schools who want to attract students and families (including homeschoolers) who are looking for something different.
Let’s create authentic demonstration projects and show that a fully self-directed education model can work in the public system.
Let's get educated.

The goal of Unschooling School is to bring people together; people who understand that some of the structures and assumptions of the current education system are not necessarily nurturing every child. No matter what situation they are in, every child has the right to choose an educational format that works for them and to have a choice about what and how they learn.
let's take action!
