Youth Run and Youth Liberation Focused. 


The freedom to choose what and how you learn is a fundamental right that is, for us, part of a larger youth liberation movement. We believe that freedom requires responsibility and accountability, so as well as being free to choose what and how you want to learn at this school, the youth are also in charge of most aspects of the school including how to use the school budget; co-holding conflict engagement processes: staff hiring, feedback, and assessments; and other aspects of daily life
