Grassroots School

The principles of individual freedom and democratic government are fundamental to the function and philosophy of the Grassroots School. Students choose their own activities throughout the day as long as they are not hurting or bothering others. The school’s rules (except those pertaining to safety and state and federal regulations) are created at our weekly meetings (PowWow) by the students, staff, and volunteers with the each individual’s vote carrying the same weight regardless of age.
