About

Learning is Like Breathing

Self-Directed Education - Peter Gray

We believe learning is just like breathing. It happens unconsciously throughout your life. We trust that children’s innate curiosity enables them to reach their full potential.

Freedom to Explore

We allow curiosity to flourish by empowering every child with freedom to explore their own interests. At Singapore Democratic School, children are free from tests, exams, homework, or other imposed curricula.

Freedom with Responsibility

With freedom comes responsibility. During our School Meetings, rules are democratically decided, and our School Court upholds them.
