Thanks for that information! I live in a cohousing community (Tierra Nueva on California’s Central Coast – http://www.tncoho.com) – and we’re in the process of starting a Sudbury, but I’m so tempted to jump to a school that’s already established.

Thanks so much!

Hi Caity,

Right before we moved to this area, we were getting ready to enroll our kids at Clearwater School in Bothell, so I’d say we were sold on that school too! (It’s just that we learned about a house for sale in a co-housing community over here less than a mile from Trillium and the opportunity was too good to pass up.)

Trillium is starting its 5th year in the Fall. Clearwater has been around for much longer (12 or 13 years?). I believe Rising Tide School is starting their 2nd year this Fall. I haven’t visited or met them yet.

I think it’s wonderful we have three Sudbury schools in Washington. I hope we get even more.

Thanks for your note and your kind words.
Evan

Dear Evan,
I’m delighted to find your informative blog. Your entry about commitment was (dare I say) transformative, particularly the use of the idea of burning bridges.

I’m wondering if you know of a site or blog entry that compares/contrasts the 3 Seattle-area Sudbury schools. I’ve read your perspective about Trillium – that it’s a great school. Do you have a perspective about the other 2?
Thanks,
~Caity
