STRANGE UNIQUE SCHOOLS

Added on: 3rd Jan 2016

 

WALDORF SCHOOLS

Waldorf Schools

Waldorf education is based on the educational philosophy of

Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. The pedagogy

emphasizes the role of the imagination in learning, striving to

integrate holistically the intellectual, practical, and artistic

development of pupils.

 

 

TINY TITS SCHOOL

Tiny Tits School

Even though nothing’s really weird when it comes to this school’s

agenda or nature, its name gives it a naughty character.

Wouldn’t you feel strange saying you graduated from

Tiny Tits School? Be honest!

 

 

STRATTON MOUNTAIN SCHOOL

What would you think if we told you there’s a school that focuses

on the Winter Olympics? Apparently, Stratton Mountain School in

Stratton, Vermont, defines itself as a “winter sports academy.”

And they are serious about it since the school has sent fifty-three

students to the Olympics, while ninety have been on

national US teams.

 

 

HAMBURGER UNIVERSITY

Hamburger University was founded in 1961 by Ray Kroc to teach the

secrets of McDonald’s to eager minds. The first university is located

 in Oak Brook, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, but it has since

spread to Tokyo, London, Sydney and Shanghai. And before you

laugh about the whole thing keep in mind that getting into Harvard

is currently easier than in McDonald’s University in China,

since less than one percent of the applicants will

eventually be accepted there.

 

 

PLAY MOUNTAIN PLACE

Play Mountain Place

Play Mountain Place is a child-centred, humanistic, progressive,

alternative, experiential, play-based preschool and elementary school

located in Los Angeles. For over sixty-five years, children have

been encouraged to discover the joys of learning through their

own interest, at their own pace, all while being supported by the

deepest respect for their dignity and worth. It’s all about self-motivation

in this school while programming and standard lessons (history,

maths, and grammar) have a secondary role.

 

 

NAROPA UNIVERSITY

Naropa University

Naropa University is a private liberal arts college in Boulder,

Colorado. Founded in 1974 by the Tibetan Buddhist

Chögyam Trungpa, it is named for the eleventh-century Indian

Buddhist sage Naropa, an abbot of Nalanda. Naropa promotes

non-traditional activities like meditation to supplement

traditional learning approaches.

 

 

MAHARISHI SCHOOL OF THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

Maharishi

Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment is an independent

college preparatory school located in Fairfield, Iowa. The school has

an open admissions policy and its curriculum includes the practice

of transcendental meditation as well as traditional academic subjects

and a course in the science of creative intelligence. Despite being

an unusual school, its students have received numerous awards

in state, national, and international competitions for science, the arts,

creativity, and athletics, with the boys’ tennis team winning

multiple national titles.

 

 

HARVEY MILK HIGH SCHOOL

Harvey Milk High School

The Harvey Milk High School is a public high school in the East Village

of New York City designed for, though not limited to, gay, lesbian,

bisexual, and transgender youth, as well as those questioning their

sexuality. It is named after San Francisco, California, supervisor

Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to office.

 

 

GULU ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Gulu Elementary School

Gulu is a remote Chinese mountain village located in a national park

filled with canyons, precipices, and overhanging rocks. The

village’s primary school is probably the most remote in the world.

Lying halfway up a mountain, it takes five hours to climb

from the base to the school.
