“I discovered in college that other students had a much harder time adjusting. I had initiative and discipline.”

“[Sudbury has] prepared me for independence, problem-solving and budgeting time for myself.”

“Without Sudbury I would not have graduated. I am now working with children with autism. The Sudbury philosophy allows me to be successful with my students today, to respect children and allow them to grow in their own unique ways.”

“I became excited about learning again here.“

“I never felt close to my teachers before. I became relaxed around adults.”

“I found myself academically more serious than most freshmen when I entered college. I had focus and could apply myself more easily.”

“Being a Sudbury…graduate meant there was no adjustment necessary to freedom and independence, either in college or in ‘real life’.”

“At [my Sudbury school] everybody really tried a lot harder at whatever it was they were doing because it was something they wanted to do.“
