Children are born curious, resourceful
and compelled to explore and understand the world around them. They
do this best by observing, imitating, practicing skills repeatedly and
exploring new ideas through uninterrupted play.
At Sacramento Valley School, we support children ages five through eighteen
in pursuing individual, unique paths of learning unhindered by age segregation,
fixed time tables for classes, compulsory testing and grade evaluations,
to name a few.
Our students enjoy complete intellectual freedom as they work hard each
day at mastering the complex skills they themselves decide as important
and necessary for a successful life.
How do we measure their success? By the smiles on their faces, the relationships
they form and the intensity with which they pursue their ever-expanding
interests each day. Outcome is secondary to the process that unfolds
along the way.
More Democratic schools are being founded each year as our country and
the world continue to rethink existing authoritarian educational paradigms.
Sudbury-model schools
consider themselves to be some of the most trust-based, egalitarian
models of schooling available at this time.

a real choice in your child's educational future.
