This is exciting beyond my wildest dreams.

A few intrepid souls (Helen, Ode, Meghan, Brenda, Gary and David) from the Windsor House community have made a bid on a wonderful old building named Cordial Hall at 2215 East Pender. We are risking a great deal on this, but are thrilled about the possibilities...

WINDSOR HOUSE SCHOOL


Windsor House School is an amazing community of learning. It has a 34-year history and has become a collection of the best aspects of many schools - yet it is absolutely unique in all of Canada with:

• Kindergarten to Grade 12
• multi-age groupings
• a democratic system of governance
• non-coercive (self-directed) academics
• parent-participation
• portfolio-based reporting
• public funding

S.A.N.E.


(S)ociety for the (A)dvancement of (N)on-coercive (E)ducation

Begun in 1992, SANE evolved from being a parent support group for Windsor House Alternative School to being an umbrella group dedicated to advancing non-coercive education in a wider venue.

NEIGHBOURHOODS OF LEARNING

On the heels of the B.C. Provincial government's announcement of the $30-million Neighbourhoods of Learning pilot project in September 2008, The NVSD put out a call for proposals for Neighbourhoods of Learning project within the school district.
