There are woods to explore, gardens to plant, natural flora and fauna to learn about, quiet places to find oneself again. Then there are the people. Children in community grow up around a host of other adults besides their parents. These adults offer love and guidance as well as expertise in many areas that may be of interest to the various children of the community. Finally there is the actual experience of living in a community like Songaia.
Children learn responsibility as they grow into contributing more.
They see their parent's values of living simply and caring for the earth and each other made reality. They learn to work effectively in groups, to solve problems and to give of themselves. They learn that they are loved, accepted and important members of the community. I don't know what the details of home schooling at Songaia will look like yet.
