    It's okay. Curriculum is good, but not all teachers are very nice. Most teachers are great! But the…read morerules are not enforced equally throughout the students. Males are usually treated with more lax standards along with shorter, less developed girls. Some people are very quick to make assumptions about students based on overall airs. I was on financial support, but tuition is pretty expensive. Not many students. Some of the students that grew up in a wealthy loving family can be very inconsiderate with words. Dress code is strict. Dress code enforcer has tried to tell me where MY mid thigh was. Also the dress code does not provide much room for religious wear. Hijabs and headwear are allowed, but certain holidays might include certain attire. It can be a challenging place for students with Social Anxiety on multiple different fronts. There is no special needs program to my knowledge. I personally think that this school is a bit too sensitive, but that comes from a middle class public school person until I got here recently. The school is pretty academically supportive to those who don't require help, but it skips a year of material. I was scared to say this till now but it was also pretty terrifying the whole time. And exhausting. Mental health is taken care of by most of the teachers that are trying to get their own job done. Kids have said slurs, done VERY inappropriate things and made noises to others, and it's never taken care of. It always kept happening. Bullying was not addressed. Most people are obsessed with putting labels on you. And people wouldn't listen to me. It was actually pretty deteriorating. And I had already went into this school with crippling depression. My only friends at the school were much more support than the mental health support system or whatever thing they had set up at the time. And nobody knows boundaries. I'm sorry. I hope its changed now.

    Ashbrook provides a safe campus to learn from preschool to 8th grade. The student to teacher ratio…read moreis perfect for adaptive learning and being in touch with how your child is learning. The arts program is strong and PE is just as impressive. The consideration for each child success is exactly how every school should approach education.

    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!
