  The Putney School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Putney School is an alternative high school in Putney, Vermont.
Founded in 1935 by Carmelita Hinton, the school is an experiment in progressive education.
All of the buildings on the school's campus were partially or completely built by Putney students and faculty, with the exception of the most recent addition, the Michael S. Currier Center for the Performing Arts (also a departure from Putney's customary white colonial-style architecture).

 Alternative school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In education, the phrase alternative school usually refers to a school based on a non-traditional, new, or non-standard educational philosophy.
They are commonly founded as schools for students that may not be served well by traditional public schools in their communities (such as pregnant teens or teen parents, drop-outs, and other at-risk populations) or those with special educational needs.
In the United States, most alternative schools are private or independent schools rather than public schools funded by the state; however, some public charter schools and magnet schools offer benefits similar to those of alternative schools and are inspired by similar ideas.

I grew up with a kid who went to to a religious high school (and paid for a religious education), who was always trying to convince me that only humans had feelings.
