West Cork Sudbury School Details
West Cork Sudbury School is part of a movement towards a very different model of education, where students have an equal part in the democratic running of the school itself and where they decide what, when and how they learn.The original Sudbury Valley School has been running in America for fifty years, where extensive research has shown the benefits of facilitating the students to learn on their own terms whilst becoming active members of a democratic community. WCSS found a home in beautiful Coomhola, West Cork. Our building is spacious and bright with lots of rooms to explore different interests, relax and feel at home. It is surrounded by lawns, an orchard, forestry and different bodies of water. The outside space also includes a basketball and tennis court as well as a covered area to use tools, play table tennis, skateboard, practice circus skills and so much more!We believe in giving equal value to all types of intelligence and that students should be allowed to self-direct their learning by trusting their own intuition without following a prescribed curriculum. We have seen that individuals flourish when given the space, resources and support to follow their passions at their own pace and in their own unique way.As a democratic school students and staff have an equal say in the workings of the school and through this develop an understanding of the democratic process.We are a company limited by guarantee and received our Charity Status on the 24th of December 2020: Charities Regulatory Authority (CRA) 20206027.Find out more on our webpages.
