A Recent Visitor's Blog

For the month of January, Fairhaven School hosted Monika Wernz, a visitor from a startup Sudbury school group in Munich. From the beginning, we have welcomed visitors from all over the world to our campus. On the one hand, we want to support growth and awareness of the Sudbury approach to education. On the other hand, visitors who understand the model are a gift to our community, enriching all of our lives.  As usual, Fairhaven  School families generously hosted Monika for the month.

For several months, Monika has visited numerous schools Sudbury and democratic schools across the globe, and she has been posting photos and text via her blog. Although the text is in German, her photos are stunning, and I encourage you to check them out!

(Scrolling down to the bottom of the page will reveal a few Fairhaven School posts, with links to more at the bottom of the page.)

Monika plans to compile her photos and writings in a book as a promotional tool not only for her nascent school, but also as a boon to all of the Sudbury schools. To that end, Fairhaven School’s PR Committee voted to approve the use of Fairhaven School photos in her project. We look forward to seeing the book in the near future.

Many thanks for visiting, Monika, and good luck with your school!

I have observed that when students are given the chance to create what they want, many unexpected and rich experiences evolve.

My son was comparing Fairhaven to the public school he attended until he was eight. “You know,” he said, “when I went to my old school, I was always doing things because someone told me to. I did things to make my teachers happy, or to get someone to like me, or to be like everyone else. At Fairhaven I do things for myself, and I don’t have to worry about what other people think.”

Fair Ball

Fair Ball

Since we first opened our doors, we have spent hundreds of hours playing kickball. This year, however, tension caused by players trash-talking, disagreements about rules, and a general malaise descending on the game threatened its existence. How the players addressed these issues exemplifies problem solving at Sudbury schools, and might concretize how our community functions.

Presence

Perhaps more than any other quality, presence defines Fairhaven’s students. Sitting in the Chesapeake Room on a sunny Saturday in February as our eight potential graduates declared their intentions to seek diplomas, then fielded questions from assembled parents, staff and fellow students, I could not help but notice this shared trait.
