LiberSchool on the Move: 40 Years of Community Schooling in Dialogue with Europe
In its 40th year, LiberSchool is bringing its expertise to various European contexts focused on education, community, and change. This is an opportunity to share what we have learned by building a school as a living part of the community: through trust, Deep Democracy, itinerant schooling, Gaia Schools, and new forms of learning.
LiberSchool Through the Eyes of a Waldorf Teacher
What stands out when a Waldorf teacher visits LiberSchool for the first time? Anne Lindhardt Kluge shares her fresh perspective on a school where relationships, joy and trust are part of everyday learning.
Arts and Crafts
What does it take to educate a young person? At LiberSchool, we believe it also takes people who are willing to open up their world. That’s how “Arts and Crafts” came to be: a week during which students learn a trade by working alongside those who practice it every day.
LiberSchool a Storytime
LiberSchool was invited to Evoluzione Radio’s Storytime radio program to talk about its educational experience. In the interview we talk about the origins of the school, the educating community, the relationship with nature, and the questions that guide the future of education. A short 8-minute video to learn more about our journey.
Digital education: the LiberSchool’s position
Ignoring technology is not possible, but embracing it without criteria is not possible either.
At LiberSchool we accompany children and young people to grow in digital with a critical and conscious gaze: digital education means educating for choice, not consumption.
Technology use at school is intentional, guided by educators and differentiated by age. Personal smartphones are not allowed during school hours and “screen-free” times are provided to foster attention, creativity and relationships.
Our position stems from discussions with families and educational observation: technology remains a tool in the service of the human.
