24 - Friday, July 26, 1991 - North Shore News School needs kids THE NORTH Shore's only parent participation school is looking for students. Windsor House Alternative School, which operates out of the top floor of Queen Mary Com- munity School in North Van- couver, is hoping to increase its enrolment before the next school term starts in September. School founder Helen Hughes said she fears the school, in which parents take part in their childrens’ education, may be forc- ed to close its doors if there are not enough students enrolled by September. “At Windsor House the staff and parents believe that young people should be free to take con- trol of those aspects of their lives that are not the direct concern of the community; that they should be able to make important deci- sions and live with the conse- quences of those decisions,’’ said Hughes, She added that at Windsor House students decide how to spend their time and that they may read, play, take classes, work on projects, talk with friends and ‘apprentice in the community.”’ “They may also participate in the running of the school by join- ing committees and voting at school meetings. ‘*Living by this philosophy re- quires courage on the part of parents, who often feel insecure in the absence of traditional formats and methods of coercing children into learning, but it has been shown to work in action,’’ said Hughes. She added that Windsor House offers young people an opportuni- ty for self expression, self direc- tion and individual growth. 1t also requires a high level of commit- ment on the part of both parents and students. Funded by the North Vancouver District 44 School Board, Windsor House depends heavily on word- of-mouth enrolment, Hughes said Windsor House needs an elemen- tary age group of about 60 stu- dents. “Since the school has received fitthe publicity, few North Van- couver parents are even aware that this unique program exists. Wind- sor House needs 10 more students enrolled by September if the pro- gram is to be maintained,”’ said Hughes. For more information, call Hughes at 988-1836 or Laara Williamsen at 987-8136.
