I live in Central New Jersey. I have been interested in the Democratic School Model since I read about Summerhill by Erich Fromm many many years ago. I was very excited to learn that such a school model exists in the United States while visiting friends in the region of the Sudbury School in Framingham, Ma. You can imagine my sorrow when I learned that the closest Sudbury school would be in Pennsylvania, Delaware or Connecticut. If there is a group interested in such a school in New Jersey my husband and I would like to become a part. Please contact us @ pegfarah@bww.com .
