The Beach School Co-operative Inc. (TBS) is a not-for-profit, independent school for children aged 4-19 and is a part of an educational tradition of democratic decision-making and self-initiated learning. Our school is modeled in particular after the Sudbury Valley School, which has been running in Framingham, Massachusetts since 1968 and has inspired schools around the world.


THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
We are a co-op, newly gathered to create a system of learning that is based on consensus decision making, student and faculty inspiration, the inner & outer environment, and a culture of individual freedom and self-responsibility.  We endeavor to create a setting where making great projects, experiences, and performances thrive.  Where we honour the personal and social development of the students, and their individual abilities to learn.  Where the quality of the facilitators lie as much in their knowledge of their subjects, as in their ability to communicate their passion for the subjects. 

Please join us for our open house & admissions session 28 july '08 at 7pm. Phone 416-461-6006 or email: thenewschoolhouse@gmail.com for more information
Location: 42 Edgewood Ave. (formerly Corpus Christi School) at the entrance adjacent to the parking lot.
