Most schools have one group of learners.
Children.
We have 2.
Children and adults.
Let’s face it: adults are the real curriculum. The only real limits of education are the limits of adults. Parents AND teachers.
That is why we will not limit the education children deserve by forgetting the learning of the adults.
Nobody gets to graduate from learning any more. Every 5 years, the list of top skills necessary to be successful at work changes. Life is increasingly harder and more complex. Adults need to learn just as much
as children do.
Our vision:
to build a learning culture throughout every home.
Our purpose is to support everyone to learn how to thrive in life.
We will do this by developing an organic learning system with a dual curriculum for both children and adults.
We will serve dynamic, enlightened families who want to thrive in a connected world.
Wherever they are, children, parents, and teachers will keep learning together.
For Life.
Here’s what we believe so that we can build the learning system we want, every day.
1.
We design learning for children and adults, and see them as equally important.
Children deserve the best teachers and the best parents. To flourish and to keep up with the changing times, adults also have to learn as much as their kids. We make a commitment to invest in every person in our learning community to ensure they reach their full potential.
2.
The school’s vision is to foster your personal vision.
When we say ‘learn for life,’ we will never forget it is YOUR life. Our dream is for you to have your own dream of a great life. From childhood to adulthood, you will continuously do the work of being the author of your life because only your own ‘why’ can sustain your resilience to long time learning.
3.
Learning should make a difference.
Everyone can make an immediate impact on their lives and the world through their learning. Look at the teenagers who begin to apply the brakes to climate change. How much of a difference can we make in the world if we design every learning experience to have an impact?
4.
Learning is worthwhile when you learn all the essential skills to thrive in life.
In every part of life. Our learning system is based on essential competencies in all the key areas of life. Every program of learning taps into physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual development.
5.
We will not measure success by grades at final exams but by the degree of well being and success in adult life.
Achievement is not about passing exams or taking high grades. We will measure success by the long-term impact on our students. Our learning system will continue to provide experiences and contexts that support everyone’s learning beyond the years of ‘formal education’.
6.
Mastery.
We are all capable of reaching mastery where we have talent, passion, and hard work aligned. Expect greatness of yourself, and you’ve got a chance of achieving greatness. We will create great things through our learning. How do we know? Because we won’t stop until we do.
7.
Learning happens in every moment, everywhere.
Uplifting learning needs to happen where life happens. We are not limited from reaching our potential based on how close we are to the school building and just showing up. We will develop a powerful learning culture with rituals and habits that take learning into day-to-day life. Our program is designed to support remote learning from day one.
8.
Relationships sustain transformation.
Learning and thriving happen in relationships. We will create a system that allows you to find a coach to support you, a mentor to inform you, and a team to keep challenging you. You will learn how to thrive and you will not be alone.
9.
Joy and celebration keep the learning going.
We will stop to rest and celebrate how far we have come. We will smile on the way. On the journey of learning to thrive, we will enjoy the progress, and the process.
10.
We will always co-design with the best practitioners and minds
in the realm of learning and thriving. Wherever in the world they may be.
