The Journal publishes essays relating to the development of the concepts underlying the Sudbury model, as well as articles and vignettes about the life of the school.
Price for the Journal is $70 outside the U.S.

In this book, two of this generation’s most provocative thinkers and practical doers have re-imagined education from the ground up. They draw on the latest scientific research, the most enduring human wisdom, and their unique personal experiences transforming institutions that resist change.

“What do kids learn at a Sudbury school? Are there any guaranties? I actually think that there are, and I think the things that can be (almost) guaranteed are the most important things of all in an explosively changing world.”

“What are the characteristics people should have to be comfortable in this new reality? I think you’ll all agree with these. They have to be flexible and adaptable, and can’t be stuck in any rut. They have to be able to interact seamlessly with their environment, and the environment now means the globe.”

“I was just a kid from East Boston who was not sure that this was going to be the right fit for me but I think in my time here I decided that I was going to make it the right fit for me. Success can be a choice and you certainly can do that here. You can go in any path that you like.”

A look at what “guidance” means, plus a thought-provoking discourse on how human beings get where they want to go, both literally and figuratively, and the role guidance plays in that journey.
