Material goals are easy to describe. But surely, many intangibles are worth considering also, such as happiness and peace of mind. We all want our children to have a positive awareness of the meaning of life. No influence outside the home has greater impact on children than the time they spend in school. Nowadays, little attention is paid to developing children's higher values.
Intellectual training is surely essential.
It's hard to succeed in our culture without it. But life teaches us that success and happiness depend also on human skills, such as getting along with others, mental focus, cooperation, overcoming obstacles with perseverance, and knowing how to be a good friend. At Living Wisdom School, we feel that children should benefit from the storehouse of wisdom that humanity has gathered through the ages about the achievement of a happy, fulfilled life. For over 20 years now, we've seen that children who learn how to have a happy life are far more likely to achieve academic success as well. At Living Wisdom School, children learn the art of being a balanced, mature, effective, happy, and harmonious human being.
