Summerhill

Summerhill, founded in 1921, has long been considered the most unusual school in the world. Neill himself called it a ‘demonstration school’ rather than an experimental school, ‘because it demonstrates that freedom works.’ In this seminal work, first published in 1960, the author expresses his unique and radical opinions on important aspects of parenthood and childrearing. Summerhill is essential reading for parents and teachers, particularly relevant in the present context where children grapple with far more complex issues than their counterparts in previous generations.
