Although the kindergarten is a separate class, Bryant said, the rest of
The Kansas Department of Education recently accredited the school, which has been open for one year. The department is involved in "promoting practice."
"More and more we are getting requests from people who want to know what an open school is like," Bryant said. Bryant said, anyone was welcome to.
