What makes us unique?
FREEDOM
We believe everyone should have the freedom to seek out their own education through self-directed learning.
RESPONSIBILITY
A place where every child can grow to feel responsible not just for themselves but for each other and their community.
AGE-MIXING
Older students mentor and nurture younger students, while younger students look up to and are inspired by older students.
PLAY
Imaginative, interactive, children-led play is central to our community as it is an integral part of child and adolescence development.
RESPECT
We respect children as independent individuals and all children and staff are treated as equals.
We are a group of dedicated parents and educators who are in the process of setting up a non-profit Sudbury Education Centre in Hong Kong. This is the first organisation in Hong Kong to offer an education that is democratically run and dedicated to self-directed learning! Sudbury Education HK is part of an international network of more than 50 organisations based on the highly successful Sudbury Valley, which is located in Massachusetts in the US and was established in 1968. Sudbury Education Centres are run democratically so that each child’s voice is heard and valued. Children are trusted with the freedom and responsibility to direct their own education. Instead of tests, grades and homework, we offer members ages 5-18 unlimited opportunities for self-directed learning in a supportive community environment. Graduates move into their adult lives confident, articulate, resourceful and self-motivated.
