Houston Sudbury School

Houston Sudbury School (HSS) is a non-profit private Sudbury school in Spring Branch, Houston, Texas.[1][2] The school serves students of ages 6–18 and follows the Sudbury model of self-education.

The democracy is meted out in a weekly school meeting where staff and students discuss and vote on a variety of administrative aspects of the school, including rules. These rules are enforced through a peer justice system called the judicial committee.

History

The school was founded in 2016 by Dominique Side and Cara DeBusk and opened in January of that year.[3]

Its original campus was in Independence Heights.[4][5] As of 2017 the school had 23 students; two of them identified as transgender, and the student body originated from various socioeconomic and racial groups.[4] It was scheduled to move into another campus in May 2017,[3] located in Acres Homes.[4][6]
