I am looking for schools in the USA that are like the one room
schoolhouses that existed in colonial America where the older kids
taught the younger kids.  This allowed one headmaster to oversee
100-150 kids.  This system later emerged as the Lancaster system in
the early 1800s. It spread all over the world.  Can you tell me where
such schools exist today in the USA?

From the research I have just done, there are currently no
Lancasterian schools in the United States at present. I have found
information on the Lancaster method, it's history, and information
regarding a movement in the US to establish Lancaster schools if the
interest is there. Would you be interested in this information, or
would you like to re-phrase your question to pinpoint a different
issue associated with this topic?

I am only interested in the location of two or three schools currently
using the Lancaster methodology so that I can visit them.  I have
plenty
of information about the system including books and history.

On August 24, 2001, the Lancasterian Society was resurrected in Texas.
See its Articles of Incorporation. During the months and years ahead
it will seek to build support for the Lancasterian system, adapt it to
modern situations, and found and operate a network of Lancasterian
schools wherever local support for them can be sustained.
