Holism emphasises the challenge of creating a sustainable, just, and peaceful society in harmony with the earth and its life. It involves an ecological sensitivity - a deep respect for both indigenous and modern cultures as well as the diversity of life forms on the planet. Holism seeks to expand the way we look at ourselves and our relationship to the world by celebrating our innate human potentials - the intuitive, emotional, physical, imaginative, and creative, as well as the rational, logic and verbal. Holistic education recognises that human beings seek meaning, not just facts or skills, as an intrinsic aspect of their full and healthy development. We believe that only healthy, fulfilled human beings create a healthy society.
Holistic education nurtures the highest aspirations of the human spirit.
Education cultivates a critical awareness of the many contexts of learners' lives - moral, cultural, ecological, economic, technological, political. All persons hold vast multi-faceted potentials which we are only beginning to understand. Human intelligence is expressed through diverse styles and capacities, all of which we need to respect. Holistic thinking involves contextual, intuitive, creative and physical ways of knowing. Learning is a lifelong process.
