School Within A School
School Within A School (SWS) is an alternative education program based in Brookline High School. Made up of about 120 students, SWS promotes democratic education in the form of a Town Meeting every Wednesday. Students also enjoy smaller class sizes, mixed-level as well as mixed-grade English classes, and a single Dean/Guidance Counselor. Teachers are on a first name basis, and a number of committees, created during Town Meeting or outside of class, convene during the student's free blocks. The program governs itself during Town Meeting, and teachers and students participate in a fair and equal democratic community.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
