North Haven, Maine has a unique K-12 school that might be a model for schools on the mainland.

Edutopia - "Treasured Island: Giving Students Real Skills and Real Responsibilities"
Edutopia - "How To: Raise the Educational Stakes with Project Learning"

I think it's a great school for some types of students. I've visited it and seen great work done there (especially in relation to students thinking for themselves, this is of course a nod to the teachers and administration for fostering this).
That said, this loosely structured environment is not best for all students. It feels very energetic, which makes it hard like people for me to concentrate.
