At
a time when traditional schools are increasing requirements
for student assessments and standardized testing,
many parents are concerned that their child’s unique
needs may be overlooked. The aim of the Alternative
Education Forum is to provide parents an opportunity
to explore alternative models of education that reflect
their values and support their goals for their children.
Sudbury, Waldorf and Montessori schools will be featured—
these schools share in common a concern for the development
of the whole child. They provide individualized attention
and respectful education, each through different methods.
Representatives
from three Seattle schools will present their philosophies
and describe how their schools work. After the presentations,
participants will have ample time to raise questions.
Additional materials and information will be available.
Join us for an illuminating evening that will expand
your understanding of these three Seattle alternative
schools.

the year, The Clearwater School hosts information nights
