The People’s School is a school that embraces the formula “Of the People, By the People, For the People”.  Our small non-profit   organization unites those with a passion to share their knowledge with those with a passion for learning.  Our School has a very small budget and no physical school building.  Instead, we count upon the people of Topeka to volunteer their time as teachers, administrative help, and catalog distributors.  We rely upon the businesses and organizations of Topeka to volunteer their meeting rooms for use as class rooms when those rooms would normally sit empty.  Without the people of our community, there is no People’s School.  

We offer non-credit mini-classes that are very low cost, very low stress, and open to everyone.  For the first time, this catalog also includes class listing from other organizations and business in Topeka.   We’ve decided to include these classes to bring more learning opportunities to more individuals in our community.  We are striving to host the most inclusive and diverse classes ever imagined.   Our School is dedicated to individual, family and greater community development.  We facilitate sustainable, healthful, balanced and broad-based education and networking opportunities.  The School contracts with primarily nonprofessional teachers, though many of our instructors have credentials in their area of expertise that are impressive and extensive.   The relevant background of the instructor is detailed in each class description.

The School’s staff facilitates class registration, and handles the administrative duties of classes offered through The People’s School.  Deep in our hearts, we believe The People’s School makes our community a better place and with your help our community school will continue to grow and help build a stronger individuals and more effective citizens.
