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.

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!

The U of O is my hometown university. For as long as I could remember, I've been a Duck! That's…read morejust about how it is when you grow up in Eugene. I attended UO for a couple years before transferring. The education was good, but it's a large university so there are going to be those courses where you're one of 100 other students in a huge lecture hall. I also took several Japanese and music courses that had 20-30 students, so it all depends upon what you're taking, of course. The university itself is nice, a lovely setting. It's an arboretum, with over 500 species of trees on campus, and there are several thousand trees on campus as well. Pioneer Cemetery cuts through campus--yes, I've used it as a shortcut. The Oregon Bach Festival is kind of headquartered here, with Festival events taking place at the Hult Center as well as other venues around town. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History sits on the east side of campus and shares history of the city and larger geographical area. I visited and saw a really interesting exhibit about Black history in Eugene and I really appreciated this perspective on my hometown that I didn't learn about in elementary, middle, or high school. There is the ugly, of course, which is Nike's relationship to the university. The company started in Eugene when the famous coach Bill Bowerman used a waffle iron to improve the shoes his runners wore, and student Phil Knight partnered with him and it took off. Federal and state disinvestment in higher education makes for partnerships that are vital to the university, which is happening here. Buildings, athletics facilities, etc. are heavily influenced by or downright decided by the man himself, I'm sure, which is uncomfortable. Hopefully it frees up money in other places to hep students attend. I can't say my review is totally unbiased because of the hometown connection--it has a special place in my heart for that reason. If UO had had the major I wanted, I would have stayed there to complete my education--but that's easy for me to say as an in-state student. But I know several folks from Eugene or beyond who went there and are also happy with the education they received and the setting in which they received it, so it's worth checking out.
