Introduction

Aschool is aneducational institution (and, in the case of in-person learning, thebuilding) designed to providelearning environments for theteaching ofstudents, usually under the direction ofteachers. Most countries have systems of formaleducation, which is sometimescompulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organizations. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in theRegional terms section below) but generally includeprimary school for young children andsecondary school for teenagers who have completedprimary education. An institution wherehigher education is taught is commonly called auniversity college oruniversity.

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education.Kindergarten orpreschool provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University,vocational school,college, orseminary may be available after secondary school. A school may be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or dance.Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods. (Full article...)

Students outside Adams Hall, 1930

TheUniversity of Wisconsin Experimental College was a two-year college designed and led byAlexander Meiklejohn inside theUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison with agreat books,liberal arts curriculum. It was established in 1927 and closed in 1932. Meiklejohn proposed the idea for an alternative college in a 1925Century magazine article. The magazine's editor-in-chief,Glenn Frank, became the University of Wisconsin's president and invited Meiklejohn to begin the college within the university. Despite pushback from the faculty, the college opened in the fall of 1927 with a self-governing community of 119 students and less than a dozen faculty. Students followed a uniform curriculum:Periclean Athens for freshmen and modern America for sophomores. The program sought to teach democracy and to foster an intrinsic love of learning within its students.

The college's students became known as free spirited outsiders within the university for their different dress, apathetic demeanor, and greater interest in reading books. The college's demographics were unlike the rest of the university, with students largely not from Wisconsin and disproportionately of Jewish andEast Coast families. The college developed a reputation for radicalism and wanton anarchy, especially within Wisconsin. The students lived and worked with their teachers, called advisers, in Adams Hall, away from the heart of the university. They had no fixed schedule, no compulsory lessons, and no semesterly grades, though they read from a common syllabus. The advisers taught primarily throughtutorial instead of lectures. Extracurricular groups, including philosophy, law, and theater clubs, were entirely student led. (Full article...)
