Awakening Seed School

Founded in a Phoenix, Arizona, garage in 1977, Awakening Seed wants children of all races, cultures, religions, and ethnic backgrounds to be honored for who they truly are (whatever that means). The school, which runs from preschool to fifth grade, bans artificial juices and Lunchables, and their mission statement includes the line world peace is possible. In other words, and without trying to be funny here, it could easily be called the Hippie School .
