BigFish is a learning community for youth who want to live and learn outside of conventional school. Members choose when to attend, what classes to take, and what specific guidance and mentorship they require. We promote self-directed learning by helping youth make a plan that supports who they are and who they want to become.

Bigger than Bigfish. We are part of a growing movement!
BigFish is part of the Liberated Learners network and is 1 of 12 centers who support youth to self-direct their education, with member programs across the United States and Canada. Liberated Learners provides leadership to the movement as a whole and mentors groups around the country looking to start their own programs.
We are member of The Alliance for Self-Directed Education who are dedicated to informing people about the benefits of, and methods for, allowing children and adolescents to direct their own education. The Alliance’s ultimate goal, its vision, is a world in which Self-Directed Education is embraced as a cultural norm and is available to all children, everywhere, regardless of their family’s status, race, or income.
