Abstract This article is focused on the idea of free democratic schools, institutions of informal education, emerging as a result of a grassroot initiative. This educational phenomenon is an effect of pedagogical innovation and parents, gathering in the communities, who, as they say, want to create a place where children will have the opportunity to grow up in happiness and fulfilment. Such schools also known as quasi-schools, they are not formalised educational institutions, they do not have the school status and, thus, they remain on the edge of the education system, acting on the rights of home education. This article aims at presenting the main pedagogical concepts of such schools. Over the last few years in Poland we have observed the creation of more than a dozen of democratic schools gathered around the European Democratic Education Community (EUDEC). These new institutions represent the idea of a new, emancipated education. The initiators of free democratic schools resign from adaptive didactic strategy characteristic of public schools towards emancipation modelled on the first democratic school founded in Summerhill. Free democratic schools prioritise students’ individual, subjective needs, such as the need of autonomy, cognitive activity, interaction with the environment, expressing their own attitudes towards the learnt concepts or cooperation in the search for knowledge.

Przedmiotem rozważań podjętych w artykule jest nowe zjawisko społeczno-oświatowe związane z powstaniem placówek oświatowych, które w ciągu ostatnich kilku lat powstały na terenie dużych polskich miast. Ich zaistnienie jest wyrazem rodzicielskiej potrzeby stworzenia miejsca, w którym dzieci mogłyby kształcić się „inaczej”, lepiej niż w typowej szkole. Autorki proponują nazwę określającą te placówki – „quasi- -szkoły”. Wybór ten uzasadniony jest poprzez opis ich istotnych cech, będący wynikiem wstępnej analizy wyników badań empirycznych. Artykuł przedstawia kontekst społeczno-polityczny opisywanego zjawiska. W pozostałych częściach ma miejsce zestawienie cech quasi-szkoły ze znanymi w badaniach nad oświatą koncepcjami szkoły alternatywnej, w których ważne miejsce zajmuje idea nieskrępowanego rozwoju jednostki, demokratyzacja szkoły i wolność uczestniczących w niej podmiotów.

The article considers a new socio-educational phenomenon related to the emergence of new educational institutions which have appeared in major Polish cities over the past few years. Their emergence is an expression of the parents’ desire to create an institution that would educate the children „differently” – better than in a typical school. The authors of this paper propose to name these institutions – „quasi-schools”. We justify the choice by description of their important characteristics. The article presents the socio-political context of the studied phenomenon. The paper continues to compare the characteristics of quasi-schools with well-known, and explored concepts of alternative schools, such as the concepts of unrestrained individual development, school democratization and participant personal freedom
