Basis

Toddlers, like effective adults, are active, driven, persistent and curious. Sudbury schools are designed to support these traits throughout childhood.  

Growing up is hard work, and it's work that humans are built for.  Internal motivation is an evolutionary reality.  

Kids are adaptive.  They can dumb themselves down when that's what's needed in school, while we see them rising to the occasion when they are trusted to create their own path to adulthood.

History

Reach is modelled after Sudbury Valley School, which opened in New England in 1968.  Sudbury Valley has studied their graduates and compiled the results.

In the 1980s, schools started sprouting up modelled after Sudbury Valley, calling themselves Sudbury schools.
