Notes for Prospective Students
The Miami Sudbury School believes that this model of empowerment
will allow almost any young person to grow and thrive. While
admission is never based on test scores or grades, students must
meet the following criteria: Every student interested in becoming a
community member, regardless of age, must have a baseline of
personal responsibility and self-control in order to participate in
a Sudbury School Community. Respect for the authority of our
school's peer restorative justice system, democratic School
Meeting, and the policies decided upon by these bodies is essential
for the smooth functioning of our community, allowing everyone to
work together with respect and responsibility. Steps for
enrollment: Familiarize yourself with our School and The
Sudbury Approach to Education. Check out a few articles, videos,
and maybe a book from our Library. We highly suggest Free To
Learn by Peter Gray Call or go to our website to schedule a private
tour for your family. The prospective student and all parents
invovled in the student's life must attend the family tour. After
the tour, your student may be invited to do a Visiting Week to see
if this is a good fit for everyone. If we have already reached
maximum enrollment, your child will be placed on our Waiting List.
During the enrollment process, our Admissions Committee works with
prospective families to determine whether there will be a good fit
between our school and your family. We do not consider academic
performance in our enrollment process. We strongly believe
that most students can thrive at The Miami Sudbury School, if that
is their goal. However, the unique nature of our school
relies heavily on the right mix of ages and the ability of all
students to function cooperatively and productively for the sake of
the community. We are a safe, respectful, open, and affirming
school community based on respect and personal responsibility.
