The King Alfred School is a co-educational independent day school in Golders Green in North West London. It was founded in London in 1898 [2] by Charles E. Rice, a former teacher at Bedales School [ citation needed ]. The school was considered "radical" for its era, as it provided a secular education in a co-educational setting. [3]

Walden School was a private day school in Manhattan, New York City, that operated from 1914 until 1988, when it merged with the New Lincoln School; the merged school closed in 1991. Walden was known as an innovator in progressive education. Faculty were addressed by first names and students were given great leeway in determining their course of study. Located on Central Park West at 88th Street, the school was very popular with intellectual families from the Upper West Side and with families based in Greenwich Village. The Walden School was founded in 1914 by Margaret Naumburg, an educator who later became an art therapist. Claire Raphael Reis, a musician, was also involved.
