If
children are to learn to live responsibly, they
must be given the opportunity to share the
responsibilities of the community just as the
adults do. To this end every child, not matter
what his age, ability, or point of view, is a
part of the school's governing and decision
making process. The school's governing bodies
are the School Meeting, the School Assembly, and
the Judicial Committee. This organizational
arrangement is based on one that has been in
continuous use at the Summerhill School in
England for over 80 years and at the Sudbury
Valley School in Massachusetts for over 40
years. If children are to learn to live
responsibly, they must be given the opportunity
to share the responsibilities of the community
just as the adults do.
