The Highland School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Highland School is a democratic boarding and day school located in rural West Virginia.
[edit] Overview
Founded in 1981, the school values democratic process and individual rights - principles also held by the Sudbury Valley School. The Highland School has hosted students from all over the world. International students interact with local students from Appalachia and other areas of the United States. Students are free to choose and pursue their interests every day. As a result, activities range widely from constructing an archaeological dig to learning the Japanese language. The Highland School's boarding component is a unique feature allowing students to be a part of a democratic learning environment 24 hours a day. Similar to Summerhill School in England, the Highland School emphasizes freedom and responsibility for school members.
