Introduction

Aschool is theeducational 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 organization. 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...)

The front of the Albany Free School building in Albany, NY

TheFree School is the oldest independent, inner-cityalternative school in the United States. Founded byMary Leue in 1969 based on the EnglishSummerhill School philosophy, the free school lets students learn at their own pace. It has no grades, tests, or firm schedule: students design their own daily plans for learning. The school is self-governed through a weekly, democratic all-school meeting run by students inRobert's Rules. Students and staff alike receive one equal vote apiece. Unlike Summerhill-style schools, the Free School is aday school that serves predominantly working-class children. Nearly 80 percent of the school is eligible forreduced-price meals in the public schools. About 60 students between the ages of three and fourteen attend, and are staffed by six full-time teachers and a number of volunteers.

The school runs on ashoestring budget as a tradeoff for its financial independence and accessibility to low-income students.Tuition is billed on asliding scale based on what parents can afford. Revenue from rental properties and fundraising supplements tuition income. The Free School started a high school program in 2006 that later spun off as the Harriet Tubman Democratic High School before closing in 2017. Journalists have likened the school's approach tounschooling andhomeschooling, and its work to that ofprefigurative politics. The Albany Free School is one of the few schools remaining from the 1960s and 1970sfree school movement. It inspired the program of theBrooklyn Free School. (Full article...)
