The Therapeutic School.
Mercogliano, Chris
Skole: The Journal of Alternative Education, v12 n3 p57-75 Sum 1995
The Free School (Albany, New York) was started for children who had experienced little success in public schools. The school advocates a number of therapeutic practices that encourage the healthy expression of emotions as well as the articulation and exploration of life's inevitable conflicts and problems. As children gain in self-esteem, they become more receptive to learning. (LP)
