School Directories and Other Resources

In our Alternative School Directory, small independent private schools are listed in alphabetical order along with their locations, ages/grades served, philosophies, and other basics. You can also look for schools near you on the Alt Ed Maps page. Want the advantages of a larger, religious, or specialized school? Visit our supplemental directory of Other Recommended Schools. For after-school enrichment, tutoring, and other unique learning opportunities for all ages, visit our frequently updated list of Special Programs. And make a habit of checking the Calendar, which features school information sessions, open houses, and more.

If you want to learn more about alternative education in general or explore a particular theory or model, you’ll find helpful links on the Alt Ed Resources page. We also invite you to browse our Alt Ed Bookshelf, which is full of recommended works by some of the world’s best thinkers on learning. If you’re interested in working in alternative education, you might just find your dream position on our Job Board—and if your school or learning community is hiring, it’s a great place to post open positions.
