This book explores the unique phenomenon of public alternative schools in Toronto, Canada and other large urban areas. Although schools of this kind have existed for more than a century, very little has been written about the alternative school movement.

This book draws attention to the issue of alternative schooling to help make it more accessible to a wider audience.
