  Description

  THIS WEBSITE IS MANAGED BY THE OLDEST STUDENTS 12 TO 14 YEARS OLD!
  
  So please be understandable that we might make grammar mistakes :D
  
  We are small independent boarding school located in south of Central Bohemia. We were founded in 2021 by couple of enthusiasts who deeply believe in freedom, equality and non-violent (educational) system. We are inspired by Summerhill, Marie Montessori, Jan Amos Komensky, Bill Plotkin, Peter Gray and many many others. Our school is not just a school, but also a community with its own small organic garden and many more (planned) projects.
  
  The students are aged from 7 to 15 and in school year 2023/2024 there are 27 of them. The school starts every week on Monday morning and ends on Wednesday afternoon. On Monday we have classic subjects (Math, Czech language and english) On Tuesday we do projects, everyone can choose the project that they will do. On Wednseday we have a choice of workshops that we can do ( We do them for aproximatly 3-5 weeks ) for example we did a bird house.
