Summerhill School is an independent British boarding school, founded in 1921 by Alexander Sutherland Neill with the belief that education should be tailored to the child rather than to anyone else in the education process. It functions as a democratic community. The operation of the school is discussed in school assemblies, which can be attended by everyone, employees as well as students, and in which everyone has the same vote. These meetings serve as both legislative and judicial bodies. Community members have the freedom to do what they want, as long as their actions do no harm to other people, in accordance with Neill's principles, ie "freedom, not arbitrariness." This also applies to students' freedom to choose which lessons to choose from. , will participate.
