Summary/Abstract: The object of this article is to analyze the democratic school’s organizational model. The example used to visualize this model is the oldest democratic school in the world — 100 years old Summerhill School in Great Britain. We will put the emphasis on the vision and values on which the school was built and how it influenced the approach to children. This article will also describe solutions for teaching organization, free time and self‑government. It will also assign democratic school model to corresponding level of organization development. It will be based on the idea of Spiral Dynamics Model by Clare W. Graves. This idea has not been used in Poland to analyze organizational model of school.
