Our Story
After decades of work as a classroom teacher and school reformer John Holt decided that schooling was not the same as education. His first books, How Children Fail and How Children Learn, have been in print for 50 years and his revisions to them reflect his deep thinking about how self-directed education can work for all people.
After writing Instead of Education: Ways to Help People Do Things Better, John Holt learned about homeschooling and decided to support it by publishing his networking newsletter, Growing Without Schooling (GWS), in 1977.
