The Life Experience School is a Path with Heart
Welcome to the Life Experience Community Website
The Life Experience School is celebrating its 50th year of peace education!
“The school operates under a non-hierarchical (laissez-faire) style of leadership, similar to a Quaker Meeting in order to highlight the unique gifts and talents of staff and students alike.”
– Lewis Randa, Founder
Throughout the day, there is a flurry of activity in many directions here at LES as each person plans their schedule … and the staff scrabbles to help them make it happen. It’s an amazing way of going about each day that is open-ended and imaginative, with each person moving about the day within the context of relationships that are grounded in respect and friendship.
