Honestly I am not sure. Could you clarify how you define unschooled program?
Discussion
Sure. It's another form of homeschooling, just without a curriculum, and uses a child-led learning structure where the children choose what they want to study and learn at their own pace. And parents, instead of filling the role of an actual teacher, act more like counselors and provide guidance and whatever materials their children need.
Pretty sure this group of parents had a few teachers that they paid... My friend was one of the substitute and she was an Waldorf teacher so I imagine they had some similar structure and flow.
Two of the parents at the co-op are actually Waldorf teachers. It's interesting seeing the system in practice. I'm glad your friends' school is still doing well, btw. The co-op I've been looking at doesn't have a hundred students yet, just a few dozen. But, it has been growing. They probably are similar. I was just curious because I've never met parents who have unschooled their children, despite how interesting the concept sounds.
