An umbrella term for this style of learning (and systems that support it) is “self-directed education”. You can find places that practice this low-coercion and self-directed style here. There are a small handful of places in Central Europe that might fit the bill.
These places often serve as a refuge for kids that don’t fit in the conventional school model, so you often encounter a high rate of neuro-atypicality. There are lots of kids that might have earned themselves a diagnosis in a school setting who are thriving in an environment that can bend to their needs.
I think your last point about lack of shared priors is a big one here. The OP seems intent on designing/engineering the perfect education, when the answer from this perspective will require a lot of letting go.
Thanks for the tip and links. Unfortunately, it doesn’t show much in Prague (but still gives me a hint about what to look for even if some school isn’t registered in the linked project).

Hm… I don’t think I would have issues of having to do so. I am trying to understand how to think about this, and this simply didn’t occur to me before. In fact, it seems that me and my girlfriend are currently rather at the side of trying to figure out how to do this in self-directed-way, but it’s still in early stages.
