Sudbury schools practice a form of democratic education in which students individually decide what to do with their time, and learn as a by-product of ordinary experience rather than through classes or a standard curriculum.[1] Students are given complete responsibility for their own education and the school is run by a direct democracy in which students and staff have an equal vote.

The 'Sudbury' name refers to Sudbury Valley School, founded in 1968 in Framingham, Massachusetts, one of the first schools of this type in North America. The oldest democratic school in existence is the Summerhill School in Suffolk, England, founded in 1921. The Sudbury Valley School has been the inspiration for numerous schools[2] that now informally consider themselves 'Sudbury schools' in addition to being democratic schools.
