{"product_id":"9781784420451","title":"St Christopher School: A Short History","description":"In 1915 a new school opened in Letchworth. Based upon Theosophic values, it offered a very progressive form of education, with children encouraged to develop their own personal interests, and emphasis placed on tolerance towards all races and religions, and physical health and well-being. Discipline was largely self-imposed and students were able to influence the running of the school. The school's philosophy has enabled it to weather a century of change, including two world wars, economic depressions, and many shifts in national education policy. St Christopher School is now a unique and dynamic school where education continues to be based upon the concept of treating children as individuals. This book explores the school's history and philosophy, offering a concise but fascinating insight into the first hundred years of St Chris.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158989979888,"sku":"9781784420451","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781784420451_p0.jpg?v=1763725840","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781784420451","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
