Big School and Small School: 1978

Small size alone does not create challenging and high
quality education that places young people first; however,
the proper environment is needed in which professional
teachers, administrators and involved families and community
members can nurture and truly educate youngsters through their critical years of growth.

The Alternative Education Resource Organization (AERO)
"AERO's goal is to advance student-driven, learner-centered approaches to education. AERO is considered by many to be the primary hub of communications and support for educational alternatives around the world. Education Alternatives include, but are not limited to, Montessori, Waldorf (Steiner) Choice, Democratic, Homeschool, Open, Charter, Free, Sudbury, Holistic, Virtual, Magnet, Early Childhood, Reggio Emilia, Indigo, Krishnamurti, Quaker, Libertarian, Independent, Progressive, Community, Cooperative, and Unschooling. One of AERO's areas of expertise is democratic process and democratic education, but equally important is the networking of all forms of educational alternatives."
Founded in 1989 by Jerry Mintz
