Sego Lily School

I fell in love with this place. The concept of self-​initiated learning in a working democracy would have been perfect for me when I was in highschool, so I took my kids here for the better part of 3 school years.
I personally made some life long friends with other parents from this school and so did one of my daughters.
I’m glad my kids and I had this experience. They had a lot of fun and learned some life lessons while attending.
When I asked my kids what they learned overall from their experience there one said, «Who to hang out with and who NOT to hang out with.» The other agreed. Well, that’s a life lesson I didn’t learn myself until just this past year and I had to move 700+ miles away to learn this.
One thing that could make this school better is if they took the lesson my kids learned and applied it to their admissions policy. Many of the students there that I knew were amazing, intelligent children, but there were a few bad apples that belong in reform school, not a sudbury school. Also one of their staff members is too put it nicely; a horrible person. I do not know if she is still there, but I’ve heard many horrible things about how she yells and causes drama and acts atrocious.
If you check this school out, do yourself a favor, ask if the problematic staff member is still there. If she’s not, then you may have found an excellent choice for your child.
I did like how my kids could put their lunch in the fridge and heat it up in the kitchen… That’s not something most schools offer…
Their judicial committee, although not always effective or fair, is a good thing, but could use improvement. Like if a child is written up for something more than twice their parent should be notified so the parent can annalize what is going on and help the child grow from the problem.
I love and admire many things about this school, but it has some flaws.
Still, it could be one of the best choices for many children.
