SERN's mission is to support Sudbury model schools and to expand understanding of the
Sudbury model of education. While recognizing the unique nature of each of the
school communities who choose to be Sudbury model schools, SERN seeks to network and
express the commonality of these schools. Through Perspectives on Sudbury Education,
establishment and maintenance of this web site, and ongoing projects we link schools who
choose to be a part of this movement without infringing on their rights or
initiative. SERN is committed to the basic tenets of the Sudbury model, freedom and
democracy. SERN is an independent organization which is neither sponsored by nor under the
auspices of any Sudbury model school.
