We are a group of parents and educators working with families, students, and the public education system to put the needs of kids first.
No matter how you are attending school during COVID - at home, virtually, or in the school building itself - its time to get creative. Things are strange, and many of the everyday aspects of life before COVID are just not available. So let's face that fact. Let's avoid the temptation to try to make kids do 'school as usual' for a system that no longer works. Instead, let’s use this as an opportunity to create school that works for kids.

We are here as a resource centre and support group for parents, students, and educators, providing the tools and encouragement they need to bring about change in how we "do school'.
Unschooling School is about bringing people together; people who understand that some of the structures and assumptions of the current education system are not necessarily nurturing every child. Unschooling School is about giving parents and youth the help they need to work with teachers to create a better, more flexible system, by insisting that every child has the right to participate in public education, in a way that works for them.
