Brian Birdwell - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Founder
I've always known there must be a more humane and empowering way for children to spend their time than to spend their childhoods within a conventional, compulsory schooling model. But it wasn't until my first daughter was born that I discovered John Holt's writings about unschooling, John Taylor Gatto's reflections on the American educational system, Peter Gray's 'Free to Learn,' and Daniel Greenberg's 'Free at Last' and other books about Sudbury Valley.
