An alternative private school that respects parents rights and students diverse needs. Individually tailored curriculum. Fostering heuristic and autodidactic education, students run this UnSchool by democratic process. Unlike the Push systems of education where the subject matter is already decided by arbitrary methods, Agate students use a Pull System to reach out to acquire the information they need. Voluntary attendance, Autonomy in Curriculum design and year-round calendar help remove obstacles to learning. Borders, distance learners and day students collaborate to make a unique learning experience. Founded in 1983. Registered with the Ministry of Education and Training, expressly for like-minded families. Agate private school strives to offer "spontaneous diversity of choice" with students "stimulating an open-ended curriculum". Charles William Eliot, President of Harvard University 1869-1909
