Cedar Hill Open Learning
One example (out of 6) of a location we transformed into a self-directed learning centre:
We were located in a lovely corner of beautiful Panorama Ridge, Surrey (south of Vancouver, Canada) that included all of these spaces:
Common Room
Kitchen/Science Lab
Games Room
Library Space
Music room/Recording studio
Creative Space/Tech Space
Art Studio
Textile/Sewing Space
Wood Workshop/Tinkering Space
Outdoor Building Space
Outdoor Growing Space
Outdoor Green Space ( & short walking distance to Joe Brown Park)
During their time here, children are free to follow their own interests. They are welcome to participate in (or organize their own) games, arts, drama, building, woodworking, music, science, growing… and whatever else they can dream up!
