Summerhill School

Experimental primary and secondary boarding school in Leiston, Suffolk, England. Founded in 1921 by Alexander Sutherland Neill (1883–1973), the school is self-governing (students and staff have a voice in policy matters) and emphasizes the student's own motivation to learn (class attendance is optional). Neill's highly influential and controversial book Summerhill (1960) stimulated much debate about alternatives to conventional schooling, particularly in the U.S.
