From a teacher that was targeting my child to a Principal that is completely absent. Mind you I have left several messages for this ghost principal, at this point I don't even know if he is even working there? As a family we decided to stay longer in this State for the schooling which was absolutely amazing at her elementary school. Who by the way went above and beyond for the success of their students even during Covid. Unfortunately this school has a huge problem with teachers not assisting kids in furthering their learning. Actually giving them zeros on projects that are turned in with no explanations as to why? Also there is a huge problem with children skipping classes, and let's not forget the constant bullying. You have children putting their hands on other children, grabbing their personal belongings, even assaulting teachers. I wish I would of looked at the test scores, demographics, etc. before enrolling my child here. Thank goodness we will be moving soon and this nightmare that has literally been a little over a month will be behind us.

We are THRILLED to have our sons going to Eugene Sudbury School!…read more Here is a bit about their philosophy: More than just hands-on... Sudbury model schools depend on self-paced, self-initiated deep learning. It is the kind of learning that doesn't depend on bells or limits, but stretches across the day or even the academic year, and ultimately, across students' lifetimes. There need not be an arbitrary end to the challenge, but instead students can see how one challenge leads to the next. Thus the natural inquiry associated with Sudbury schools situates problems in context, in history, and in geography. It enables deep understanding, critical thinking, questioning, and ultimately, significant learning. There are four key components to a democratic education: freedom, democracy, responsibility, and equality. FREEDOM Sudbury students are free to choose how they spend their days. We believe in children's innate curiosity, impulse to learn, and drive to become successful adults. We allow them the freedom and the ultimate responsibility to choose their curriculum. Our curriculum is the unlimited palette of life, from chess to gaming, chicken raising to mentoring younger students. There are as many successful adult paths as there are curious children. We value all children's paths. We respect and value all disciplines and learning endeavors. We offer a space for nontraditional pursuits as well as traditionally academic ones to exist alongside one another. We place a strong emphasis on self-evaluation, so we do not grade students but offer support when needed.

This is how school should be done! Students of all ages and levels have the opportunity to learn…read moretheir way. Kids have numerous choices--art, outdoors, quiet reading, computers, science, math, cooking, gardening, a romp room, and more. They can take classes, workshops, and field trips. They learn by doing what they enjoy. Sudbury is a democratic immersion school, so students as young as 6 learn problem solving and conflict resolution and apply those skills daily in a real world setting. If you are discouraged by the testing, worksheet, and excessive homework culture that has robbed students of the thrill of learning in traditional schools, you should check out this school!

If their is a incident she will contact you right away. Mr. Sebastian the principle is a awesome asset to the school and I real believe he is trying his best to make sure no child is left behind. He is always our front welcoming all the kids and you can tell he generally cares. The school is also really involved in your child's learning ability and is always offering solutions so your child gets the most out of their days. The lunches have always been amazing and Mrs.Tracy In the cafeteria is always their to insure the kids get a great breakfast or lunch with a veggie or fruit included. This is honestly the only reason why we haven't moved back to our home in San Diego because this school is so amazing. Also I love there is a ZERO Bully policy and they have a buddy bench for when a child is feeling sad or has no one to play with that child can go sit down and that signals he or she needs a friend. We definitely need more schools like this.
