History

Interviews with former students of the Shelton Modern School:
The following interviews were conducted on during the month of March, 2010 with former students of the Modern School at Shelton. This school, founded in New York in 1911 and moved to New Jersey in 1915, was influenced by Francisco Ferrer’s educational movement in Spain and inspired by the ideas of many important anarchists. In the transcribed excerpts below, these two past pupils describe their experiences in an educational setting where students were given the freedom to fully explore their interests.
