How about taking lessons in a cave or in a forest?
Check out this list of some of the most unusually unique schools from around the world.
Brooklyn Free School
First up on the list is Brooklyn Free School, and we have a feeling you might be interested in this one. This is a school where the kids decide what they want to do. Sounds crazy, eh? Well it’s true. The kids decide what classes they take. If they don’t want to do any classes, then they don’t have to.
The classes on offer are a bit different. For instance, there’s a class where students go out to eat in local restaurants and evaluate them. The teachers believe it is up to the child to decide what they want to get out of school and do in life.
The Dongzhong Mid-Cave Primary School
The next schools uniqueness comes from its location. The Dongzhong Mid-Cave Primary School is located in a cave in the Guizhou Province, China. This part of China is very poor and lacks any kind of government funding. So, in 1984, instead of constructing a whole new building, the locals decided to start a school in the caves.
Ohio College of Clown Arts
This school isn’t really that unusual, so long as you’re aspiring to be a clown (which is completely fine by the way). The Ohio College of Clown Arts is a school dedicated to educating and developing your clown skills. Just think, you would never get detention for “clowning around”.
Witch School
Now, how about Witch School? This schooling can be completed on an online course; however, if that’s not your style, there is an actual Witch School location — not Hogwarts. If you want to join up, then hop on your broomstick and head to Salem, USA, the place of the Salem Witch Trials 200 years ago. The school will teach you all you need to know about witchcraft.
Forest Kindergartens
For our last on the list, we have a really awesome school that has adopted an awesome approach to teaching. Forest Kindergartens believe the kids would benefit much more from being outside with nature. School activities are designed so they can be carried out in a woodland environment and aim to help build team work skills, develop imagination and educate on physical awareness. Imagine having your maths lesson in the middle of the woods?
