Greetings,

 I was wondering if anyone knows of any "Indigo" schools, whether grade, college or trade schools that are in the United States or any other country?

I've never heard of any, But maybe that's some thing we have to do ? considering were the first/second batch of known indigo's

We, at Edmonton’s Indigo Sudbury Campus, are looking forward to watching it happen in the same way the successful Sudbury schools have been doing for years! For more information, visit www.indigosudburycampus.com or contact sendlove@telusplanet.net

The closest thing I've heard of in the US is the Montessori method or Montessori Schools. 

The Montessori Method emphasizes self-directed activity on the part of the child with clinical observation on the part of the teacher.  The teachers are not called "teachers" but are called "directors" or "guides".  The program emphasizes the importance of adapting the child's learning environment to that particular child and his/her particular level (go at your own pace and ability).  It also utilizes physical activity in absorbing abstract concepts and practical It stresses the importance of adapting the child's learning environment to his or her developmental level, and of the role of physical activity in absorbing abstract skills.  Often the schools use autodidactic (self-correcting) equipment to aid in learning. Teachers are trained to be "observers" not "lecturers".

In the Montessori classroom, the children are masters of their school room environment.  This environment has been specifically prepared for them to be friendly, comfortable, academic and to encourage independence by giving them the responsibility and tools to manage its upkeep. Emphasis is placed on the children learning with discovery, and learing to their own mistakes instead of relying on a teacher to give them the correct answer.  The Montessori method also indicates that children most often learn alone during periods of intense concentration. During these self-chosen and spontaneous periods, the child is not to be interrupted by the teacher. It is also believed that the hand is intimately connected to the developing brain in children. Children must actually touch the shapes, letters, temperatures, etc. that they are learning about--not just watch a teacher or TV screen tell them about these discoveries.

This program emphasizes children's rights, children working to develop themselves into adults, claiming that these developments would lead to world peace. The Montessori method discourages traditional measurements of achievement (grades, tests) claiming that this damages the inner growth of children (and adults). Analysis and feedback of a child's performance does exist but is usually provided in a list of the child's achievements, strengths and weaknesses, critical points and activities, and possibly a narrative of the child's achievements...emphasis being placed on the improvement of the the child's weaknesses.

Because all Montessori schools are operated independently of one another, tuitions vary widely. According to a 2005 NAMTA survey of North American Montessori schools, tuitions range from a low of under $999 per year to a high of over $14,000 per year. Median annual tuition by age level was as follows:

Infant/toddler: $4,200
Ages 3-6, 3-hour day: $3,850
Ages 3-6, 4-hour day: $4,500
Ages 3-6, 6-hour day: $5,875
Ages 6-9: $6,690
Ages 9-12: $6,700
Ages 12-15 and 15-18: $8,170

Also keep in mind that there are many Montessori programs in public schools, which charge no tuition at all to students within their district.

I believe it is. I'd love to be a part of that.. the whole school system is very much antiquated and the general, average classroom environment could be reshaped to such a better level. It's exciting to think about all the opportunities involved with the potential of Indigo children concentrated in one place!

Another Suggestion:

From JK to grade 2, I was homeschooled by my Mother with a Christian ciriculem called A.C.E.  I strongly beleive that this way of schooling really helped me.  I was an avid reader by JK, while the other children were learning their ABC's.  After homeschooling I went into a small Christian private school.  This whole program was work at your own pace, I had my own desk with dividers at the side, and I had my workbooks, and I would sit there and work away, raising my hand for personal help whenever I had questions.  There were reward systems and everything.  As a result I was far beyond other children my age.   It was rather problematic when the school closed and I was put into the Catholic School System....quite the adjustment. 

My point is, I do think that perhaps careful homeschooling with Indigo Children would be a good method, assuming the parent feels they can teach.  Also important not to isolate the child while doing this though, not having school friends limits things, so perhaps take the kids to group play dates, etc.

I'd also love to be part of that. Reshaping the school system, making schools places of inner growth and remembrance of Who-we-really-are for those generations to come. I believe this will be essential if humanity seeks to survive the times to come. We gotta prepare the young ones for becoming responsible human beings who see and honor each others innate divinity.


I dropped out of school after the tenth grade. I wanted to get to know about my skills and abilities. So I did several long term internships, attended seminars and tried many things to find out more about myself.
I also enrolled in three different schools/community colleges/six form colleges each time focusing on another field of my interests. But I couldn't find anything I would feel comfortable with.
After those years of wandering around and learning about my skills I now have found the school that provides the perfect curriculum for me with A-levels in Art and English and B-levels in Design and Religion. So currently I am attending a Six Form College. I will receive my High School Diploma next year.

But what I actually want to pinpoint is that those schools I attended for a short time all were in different federal states and each of the schools displayed significant foibles in their teaching concepts. All those schools do not provide an appropriate environment for learning. And for Indigos, who need a rather harmonious environment it's even harder to adapt to the surroundings.   
The Six Form College I am attending now is different. Dusseldorf is in the north-west of Germany. The federal state is called North Rhine Westphalia.
People here are called the "Americans of Germany" because the mentality here differs from many other parts of Germany. This also becomes obvious at schools. Teachers treat their students like human beings, souls who are here to grow.
In other parts of Germany, especially in Bavaria, students are being treated kinda like androids who must function at the touch of a button. What matters is only how much knowledge they can pick up in short time.
They completely forget about the soul. They focus on how they can make the students become Germany's elite.
There is much wrong with the school system here.

As you can see the school system in Germany definitely needs to be renewed as well.

I think the school systems in most country's needs to be reworked

[oracle]

actually there is a school for clarivoyancy and indigo stuff but i'm not sure they know they are indigo's but they know of their gifts and they have started a school for it. actaully the princess of the country started it because she has these gifts i think it is located in germany don't quite remember. . . . .

[Fran]

I am living in Germany but I haven't heard of that school yet.
I will do some research on that...

I have heard that Waldorf schools are good for Indigos, although there aren't nearly as many of them as there are Montessori.

There is one Waldorf high school near me that looks like a great school:

There are many Waldorf Schools in Germany.
I have attended one for the first two years of my school career.
Although I loved the environment and the way things were taught I didn't feel comfortable there. Mostly because I didn't make friends. There were a couple of kids with whom I would hang out but I didn't regard them my real friends except for one girl. She was a really kind person we had a lot of fun.
But the others teased and bullied me. I saw the good in them and assumed they all would be nice meaning beings. The concept of ego which is part of the contract in this world eluded me completely. I didn't know what to do with that.
After a while I hated school because it was the place which I associated with pain and loneliness.
At that time I had one real best friend. She in my neighbourhood and attended a public school. We met as often as possible. We were like sisters.
As my pain grew ever stronger I asked my mom to allow me to also attend the public school. So I changed schools. Not long after that I learned that my best friend was going to move to another part of the city in a few months from then.
I felt sad but for some reason I was not desperate. I was thankful that my friend had helped me to get out of the place where I was subjected to so much suffering. Without her I would have not had a sensible reason to change school. That was a reason which my parents could relate to. She kind of saved me.  

What I liked about the Waldorf School was that it offered so much sensual input. I loved that there was so much nature around. And as for studying I especially loved the art and crafts classes. I enjoyed working on something on my own without being interrupted, just living within my own world.
 
At the public school it also took me a while to make friends. But until my best friend moved she helped me to find fit in at least a little bit.
However it was not until the last six month of my last year in primary school that I finally felt a part of the class. Anyway, something about what was my so called reality at that time felt always kind of strange.

Just to share a bit of my experience with Waldorf School and my childhood...
If you have any questions regarding Waldorf School go ahead and ask, I'll do my best to answer them accurately.

I was thrilled to see this topic! My life's work and passion is creating "Indigo Education Communites". I agree that homeschool is a beautiful thing for Indigos and when collaborated on with other mothers and children it can flourish even more. I see "school trips planned", speakers and experts coming in to teach certain lessons and with all the parents pitching in to cover costs it makes it a lot better. I have also done research on the Waldorf School System (and have taken the Foundation Studies on Anthroposophy) and will be continuing the Teacher Program in the near future to gain a better handle on the teaching methods and how I can bring them to the creation of (eventually) homeschool communities. The most difficult thing with Waldorf is the cost! I am currently in the process of selling my home to possibly be able to afford sending two of my children there until I can create something else in a homeschool community. I have many premonitions about an old house on land with it's own garden (that is grown by the students) and play structures built by the older students and a free open learning environment with loving, highly conscious teachers that will hold the space/frequency for the kids to bring what's inside of them out into our world, a full manifestion of their inner qualities and gifts. No more filling them up with useless junk, they in turn will teach us and we older Indigos will provide the optimum environment for that blossoming to occur. If anyone wants to start a meetup on these ideas I'd love to facilitate it!

That sounds like a lovely homeschool community! I don't have children yet, but when I do I really hope I am able to stay home with them.
