Be warned there is no research that supports what this school is doing. This is quite irresponsible to run a school this way. Children will not learn to be good students or find success at school in environments like this that coddle them and let them avoid structure and effort.

In my opinion Murray is how school should be, how it was meant to be. A learning environment where the teachers care about teaching and the students are treated as people, not a commodity.

The teachers here truly care about their subjects, and their students, and will go out of their way to make sure you understand the lessons and that the assignments work for you. Sadly however, this is a small school with only so many class rooms and so many teachers. Because of that they do have a rather limited curriculum. For example, when I went there the only foreign language class was Spanish.
