Join us for a night of unique and inspiring tales from teens who are taking charge of their own learning journey.
When: Thursday, Jan 8, 7-8:00pm eastern.
Online: Register here.
From pursuing passions to building community, from finding structure to embracing flexibility, the experiences of self-directed teens at The Learning Cooperatives offer a window into what self-directed learning can look like in real life. This panel will highlight the individual journeys of current members of Princeton, Bucks, and Raritan Learning Cooperatives, exploring the choices they make and the support that helps them thrive.
Whether you’re curious about self-directed education or hoping to better understand the diverse ways young people learn when given freedom and trust, this is a chance to hear directly from the teens themselves. Bring your curiosity! There will be a Q&A where you can ask questions and join the conversation.

A Q & A session will follow the presentation.

What If Learning Could Look Different? For families seeking an alternative to conventional education—where a teen's natural curiosity drives their learning, where community replaces competition, and where each student's unique interests and passions are honored rather than standardized—there is another way.
