About Organic Schools

Schools are involved in "raising children," just like families are. Like Marietta Johnson, they think that children's natural learning styles, which are always evolving as they develop academically, mentally, and emotionally, are incompatible with the formality and rigidity of the public school system.

As a result, they adjust imposed structure to each child's unique needs and capabilities by delaying and easing it. They provide the proper time, space, and resources to encourage impromptu, imaginative, and self-inspired work in order to contrast and counterbalance teacher-driven education.

These approaches have been producing happy, active learners who are actively growing and sustaining their brains, bodies, and spirits for more than a century. They have also generated creative, engaged, and motivated learners. Every child in the organic family has access to a natural learning environment, just like they would in any other setting.

Marietta didn't think that educators should plan a child's whole day or give them continual instructions. "Children who are subjected to constant direction never find themselves because they are never allowed do lose themselves in any sort of creative works."

Marietta Johnson

The School of Organic Education was established in 1907 by Minnesota teacher Marietta Johnson, who was a resident in Fairhope at the time. She brought her nontraditional approaches to education to the progressive new community and received financial support from friends.

Throughout her time at Fairhope, she gained recognition as a formidable lecturer and speaker on the international scene. She raised money and gifts from people like Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford while on many lecture tours advocating her views on education. Fairhope's intellectual elite enrolled their children in the Organic School with much anticipation when word got out.
