Individual education is a school system grounded in Alfred Adler's individual psychology and designed by the psychologist Raymond Corsini, built on democratic rather than authoritarian principles. Instead of mandating a fixed curriculum and attendance schedule, the system lets students choose their own classes, set their own pace, and work with a teacher-adviser, combining academic work, creative and applied courses, and socialization within a structure that keeps only three rules, all concerned with safety and supervision. Its underlying aim is to produce self-reliant, responsible individuals who respect themselves and others, in contrast to traditional schooling's reliance on grades, competition, and external rewards.
