Are you new to Self-Directed Education and eager to connect with others who have experience?  Are you already engaged in Self-Directed Education at home with your family, or involved with an SDE-aligned school, co-op, or learning center?  Maybe you have friends or family involved in SDE, and you want to support them.

Wherever you are in the world of Self-Directed Education, it’s more effective and more fun when you’re connected with others who understand your choices and share your passion!

The Alliance for Self-Directed Education is a grassroots, nonprofit organization devoted to advancing the SDE movement, and you are invited to be a part of our shared adventure.  We’re creating a world where Self-Directed Education is a normal, effective, and accessible educational path that any young person can choose.

As a member of the Alliance, you’ll have access to a vibrant online community and real-life local connections, too.  You’ll also have opportunities to interact with well-known SDE visionaries through a variety of live events.  Best of all, you’ll be able to make a difference by participating in our SDE advocacy projects — or starting your own projects with support from the member community.

When you sign up, we’ll ask you for a donation to support our initiatives.  We decided not to require membership dues or fees because we trust that members will want to help sustain the organization that is working to provide easier access to the path of Self-Directed Education — for today’s young people and future generations as well.

Please note: You can also join on behalf of an organization.

Let’s do this!
