Some quite extreme measures taken by this school or ‘Learning Village’ in Australia where they have developed their education explicitly around student-led learning allowing the students to have almost complete control around their education.

Mr Trinco and his wife Lucie hoped the school would help their children “find their passion” and foster a love of learning.’
