Self Directed Education: Nonprofit advocating self-directed education

This is a nonprofit that advocates for self-directed education and provides resources for its community. It champions learning that doesn't follow a structured curriculum and instead teaches how to give independence to both the parents and child to learn in the most optimal way for their needs. This organization began from a movement whose underlying principle is the human rights of students. It is a website that informs and provides resources for parents for self-directed education. It is also a place where people can donate to the cause. This is a methodology to consider for children who need individualized learning that deviates from the state's curriculum. Deviating from a state-set curriculum may make parents uncomfortable about whether their children are on track.

Grades: All grades, but probably most applicable to PK-5th

Cost: 0
