Children, parents, school - metamorphoses | Anastasia Kyreeva

This book is a profound and at the same time personal study of transformations in school education, relationships between children, parents, and the educational environment. The author, an educational activist, researcher of alternative pedagogy, and founder of "Spilnoshkoly" , offers not just a critique of the traditional school system, but opens up space for reflection, dialogue, and rethinking the roles of all participants in the educational process.

Through the prism of real-life experience of creating a self-organized community around a school, Anastasia reflects on what education could be like if children were trusted, given a voice, and parents were included in active collaboration.

The book combines:

• essay writing,
• educational philosophy,
• practical observations from the life of "Community Schools",
• reflections on freedom, responsibility, and support in the educational space.

This publication is for everyone who is looking for a more humane, flexible, and conscious alternative to traditional school.

Co-educational school is an informal, non-profit, and self-sustaining educational initiative founded by Anastasia Kyreeva-Kislynska. It operates as a space for collaborative learning, where children, parents, and tutors create the learning process together, based on trust, respect for individuality, and principles of self-governance. It is an attempt not to reform the old school, but to create a new one—different in logic, structure, and goals.
