Overview

1975. A group of young parents, dissatisfied with the traditional school system, establish a new school. The demand for a different type of education proves so great that they soon have to expand. They end up in an old farmhouse on the edge of a forest. There, for the first time in Flanders, they put Freinet pedagogy into practice. "Een Andere School" tells the story of this remarkable experiment by a group of idealists, but it is also a film about the life and work of the French educator Célestin Freinet.
