Liberty School

for Self-Directed Education

Are you looking for

a different kind of education?

So are we! Join us!

We are a group of parents who, after careful research, have decided to start a non-profit Self-Directed Education facility for our children ages 5 and up.

We have succeeded thus far thanks to an amazing group of over a dozen parent volunteers, generous donors, students, staff and their families. Click the photos below to meet the volunteers on our Board of Directors.

If you have examined SDE and share our vision, please volunteer with us and share your skills. Contact us here.

Together we are making it happen!

The Liberty School for Self-Directed Education is a private, non-profit, independent school open to all students capable of full participation as self-directed, autonomous members of the school's community.

The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, or national or ethnic origin

(or anything else you can think of).
