| Abstract | The need for small human scale learning environments in which young people have the chance to learn what it means to be human, in other words to become educated, has never been more pressing. This article reviews the progress of the American small school reform movement, considers the lessons that teachers and policy makers in the UK might learn from it and draws attention to some significant developments taking place in the UK. The research supporting smaller learning communities is clear: they are safer; the student achievement gap between poor students and the well-off is narrowed;discipline problems and drop out rates go down and student attendance goes up, as does participation in extra-curricular activities; teacher and parent satisfaction and student affiliation increase; college-going rates increase; and the cost per graduate (from high school) is lower.
