The Sudbury Valley School was founded in 1968 by a community of people in Framingham, Massachusetts, United States.[1] In 2019, several schools stated that they were based on the Sudbury Model in the United States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany,[2] Israel,[3] Japan and Switzerland.[4]

The model has three basic tenets: educational freedom, democratic governance and personal responsibility. It is a private school, attended by children from the ages of 4 to 19.
