The Free School

Alternative education can do amazing things.  For over 40 years, The Free School in Albany has been helping kids learn in ways that work best for them.  Here’s some info from their website:

Founded in 1969, The Free School in Albany, New York is the longest running inner-city independent alternative school in the United States. We offer a unique alternative to traditional models of education by giving children complete freedom over their learning. Students at the school, many whom have slipped through the cracks of today’s increasingly regimented school system, flourish in a nurturing environment that allows them the freedom to chart their own course of learning while fostering their emotional growth.

Awesome.
