Watch entire program with Rep. Bernie Sanders at the School Without Walls

From the Site of the School Without Walls:
In 1971, School Without Walls Senior High School (SWW) was established to offer an alternative to conventional instructional programs, where students could develop "methods of learning outside the traditional classroom." It was called using the "city as a classroom." SWW was created to provide a small school environment for students who had difficulty adjusting to the large traditional public high school. In 1988, SWW adopted a humanities focus. The humanities approach initiates students on a quest to find personal meaning from their studies; it provides the framework for academic rigor by requiring the study of primary works and their contexts and by exploring the interrelationships of ideas, events and persons across academic disciplines.
