At Spring Valley School children experience an environment that values freedom, trust, and responsibility, this results in a level of self-empowerment that is unique to Sudbury students. Self-empowerment cannot be taught. It develops naturally through experience, which are earned through taking action, making challenging decisions, speaking up, and trusting oneself. These life skills result in an awareness of individual responsibility that lends itself to greater personal fulfillment and more compassionate use of power and leadership.
