SDE SPACES,
online and on the ground
There are hundreds (if not thousands) of SDE spaces and centers sprouting around the world. Some are family coops where children live and learn together: others are drop off centers, “unschooling schools”. Others take place in libraries or community centers.
Below I’ve tried to offer one example of each type of space, stay tuned for more!
