Making the Switch to Self-Directed Education

Allister, like many of our students, was unhappy with the traditional model of education. He had a natural passion for learning, but felt held back by being forced to learn at a pace and direction that was not his own. In this month’s podcast, Allister shares his story of how he found Fairhaven School, how he convinced his parents that the Sudbury model of education was right for him, and how he has been thriving ever since making the switch to self-directed education.
