1. The Cave School

Carved into the side of a mountain, the cave is massive and beautifully detailed from centuries of exposure to the elements. Besides simple cave instruction, there are a few man-made structures, including wooden classrooms and a makeshift basketball court for recess. Guizhou is one of the poorest provinces in China. Miao people in the Southern part of Guizhou have made the best of their situation by opening an elementary school in a cave, aptly named Mid-Cave Primary School. The school was opened in 1984, and at its peak employed 8 teachers who taught 186 students who would otherwise have no education. Government closed the school in early 2011, stating that “China is not a society of cavemen.”

2. Solar-Powered Floating School in Bangladesh

Of the 158 million people living in Bangladesh, around 66 percent live in rural areas. In 2002, it was estimated that more than one fifth of the country floods annually during the monsoon season, but extreme floods can cover up to two thirds. During the monsoon period, thousands of schools are forced to close, and many children miss school days. In 2007, an estimated 1.5 million students, or about 10 percent of those enrolled in primary school, were affected by floods.

3. Train Platform School

Inderjit Khurana a school teacher used to take the train to work. And each day, in the stations, she would come into contact with dozens of children who spent their days begging from train passengers rather than attending school. Khurana’s “train platform schools” aim to provide a creative school atmosphere and equip children with the basic levels of education necessary to allow them to work productively, enjoy many of life’s pleasures, and become positive contributors to their communities

4. Abo – The Underground School

Abo Elementary School in Artesia, New Mexico, United States, was the first public school in the United States constructed entirely underground and equipped to function as an advanced fallout shelter. Designed at the height of the Cold War and completed in 1962, the school had a concrete slab roof which doubled as the school’s playground. It contained a large storage facility with room for emergency rations and supplies for up to 2,160 people in the event of nuclear warfare or other catastrophe. School closed in 1995

5. Gulu School

Gulu is a remote Chinese mountain village located in a national park filled with canyons, sheer precipices and overhanging rocks. The village’’s primary school is probably the most remote in the world. Lying halfway up a mountain, it takes five hours to climb from the base to the school. The children who attend the school face a dangerous journey to reach it and must traverse a path that is only 40.6cm wide and which has a sheer drop on one side

6. Harvey Milk – LGBT school

Harvey Milk High School is a public high school in the East Village of New York City designed for, though not limited to, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender young people, as well as those questioning their sexuality. It is named after San Francisco, California supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to office

7. Trabayo ya (Work Now) – Prostitute school

It is a school like no other, one that offers professional instruction in how to sell your body for money.
For a $125 (£80) fee, pupils at Trabajo Ya! (Work Now) in Valencia are offered a “basic course in professional prostitution with maximum discretion”. But Spain’s first prostitution school has faced a legal challenge from campaigners seeking to close it amid growing public intolerance towards the world’s oldest trade

8. School of the Future

In 2006, West Philadelphia’s School of the Future opened boldly, expecting every student to have a laptop by her side every school day. Text books weren’t required

9. No grades, no homework, no tests

Not that the students had to go to any of these sessions. At this school, students don’t get grades, don’t have homework, don’t take tests, and don’t even have to go to class — unless they want to. “Free schools,” which had their heyday decades ago, operate on the belief that children are naturally curious and learn best when they want to, not when forced to. Today, the approach is getting another look from some parents and students tired of standardized testing, excessive homework, and overly rigid curriculums

10. Witch School

Salem Witches Institute is a wizarding school located just outside of Salem, Massachusetts. The school resides in a forested area, hidden from muggles. It is a co-ed institution for young witches and wizards aged 12-18. It is the most prestigous magical school in America, so it is considered a great honor for students to attend. Started as a finishing school for young ladies studying magic, the school now houses both genders and has a strong focus on culture and arts. The site offers a numerous different courses in Wicca, Paganism, Divinatory Arts, and more. Over 240,000 students have joined the site since its opening.
