Alternative school (English spelling)

Japanese: オルタナティブ・スクール(英語表記)alternative school
Alternative school (English spelling)
It can be directly translated as another school or a substitute school. However, the word alternative has the nuance of a significant change in thought or behavior, and refers to a school that is different from traditional school education. This type of attempt has been constant in modern times in the form of the New Education movement, but alternative schools refer to efforts to improve school education that arose in the United States in the late 1960s and are called by various names, such as free schools, open schools, and schools without walls.
