Ample resources will be provided for children interested in art, music or drama as well as traditinal academic areas. The Challenge Young people today face the increasingly difficult challenge of self-determination in a world that is constantly and rapidly changing. Most learning systems are designed to apply external motivation through grades, rankings, teacher direction and approval. But we believe self-motivation leads to true learning. The Living School allows children to decide for themselves how to spend their time and gives them the opportunity to find and follow their interests.
Students define what is right for themselves.
The Nature of Learning The Living School is the expression of the deep concern for nurturing the capacity in our children for self-determination, relationship, communication and creativity. We deem education to be the investigation and expression of the whole spectrum of a child's life. The school's philosophy is based on the simple idea that our very nature is curiosity and this drive to learn is directed by what holds our interest. The Living School mission is to provide a safe environment where each individual child can discover the natural process of education that results from the inquiry that defines us as human beings. Students and staff make decisions together regarding rules, use of resources, and organized activities.
