WE ARE STILL ENROLLING FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR!

“Since starting Tallgrass we have seen our creative, happy and confident son return. Recently, he set himself a challenge in one of his main areas of interest, and completed it successfully. When he told us how proud he is of himself, it was music to our ears. He is reaping the rewards of intrinsic motivation and learning of his choosing.”
— Parents of 14-year-old student

Tallgrass Sudbury School is a true alternative to conventional education based on freedom, responsibility, and community. Tallgrass serves students ages 5 to 18. Our school is located in La Grange, IL, a near western suburb of Chicago, with students drawn from throughout the Chicago area. 

Tallgrass is one of about 50 schools worldwide modeled after the Sudbury philosophy of education, pioneered by Sudbury Valley School. The Sudbury philosophy is a form of self-directed education.

At my previous high school I was stressed out all the time. When I came to Tallgrass, I stopped feeling stressed and now I’m able to focus on what matters to me.
