Schools without Classrooms

Vittra has international schools that use design that encourages creativity and curiosity.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Vittra runs 30 schools in Sweden and wants learning to take place everywhere in its schools, so it threw out the "old-school" thinking of straight desks in a line in a four-walled classroom. They eliminated all of its classrooms in favor of an environment that fosters children’s "curiosity and creativity". 

 

Vittra opened Telefonplan School in Stockholm where Architect Rosan Bosch designed the school so children could work independently in opened-spaces while lounging, or go to "the village" to work on group projects. Check out the Five Learning Spaces:

1. The Cave

2. The Lab

3. The Camp Fire

4. The Watering Hole

5. The Showoff

The Vittra Schools (there are 30 in Sweden) have eliminated classrooms...learning happens in every corner of the building, in every possible configuration.

Una escuela sin clases! Ejemplo del aprendizaje personalizado. Muy bueno.

Maria Montessori had these ideas before anyone.  Learning happens wherever you are not just in the classroom.
