The Patchwork School is a nonprofit, democratic school in Louisville, Colorado.
We currently offer full-time and part-time programs for children ages 1 to 12 years old, but intend to keep expanding to offer opportunities for all ages.
The Patchwork School works with children, families and the community to preserve every person's right to a life of self-direction, meaning and joy.
Within our educational environment, we place equal importance on both freedom and responsibility and understand that all people, regardless of age, are agents for change when they engage critically and compassionately with the world.
