Description:
The Kapriole is a democratic school that received state approval 10 years ago. At the moment 132 children between the ages of 6 and 17 come here to learn whatever, wherever, however, whenever and with whomever they want - all of the time. This absolute freedom and
self-directed learning is the basis on which all other rules develop at the Kapriole. These rules are discussed and negotiated at the weekly school-meetings, in which each person has one vote - regardless of age and experience.
