The Trillium School’s Curriculum is based on that of the Sudbury Valley School, founded in Massachusetts in 1968. The Trillium School curriculum is fully student-driven. Students pursue their own interests in as many different ways as there are students. Some of these may look “traditional”, while most will be anything but. Students interact freely with other students and staff of all ages, blurring the lines of traditional roles such as “student” and “teacher”. All members of the community participate as peers in the School Meeting, the democratic body that debates and votes on day-to-day operations of the school. The school is truly democratic, with no ultimate authority or veto power held by adult staff. In this environment, Trillium students gain the skills, confidence, and experience necessary to pursue any future they choose.
