The Mission

---

To help children develop their own unique potential and to give them the tools to make life choices that lead to lasting happiness.

a safe, uplifting environment where children's natural curiosity and expansiveness can grow.

self-understanding and balanced growth: body, feeling, mind, will, and spirit.

a sound academic program that lays the foundation for the child to thrive in almost any school program.

universal values such as honesty, generosity, love and living in harmony with each other and nature.

experiential appreciation of the value of attitudes such as willingness, servicefulness and humility.

consistent, gentle guidance to help children recognize for themselves which actions make them happy (kindness, generosity) and which actions make them feel diminished and unhappy (selfishness, bullying).

progressive development wherein the teacher guides students from reactions of fear toward courage, from judgment toward compassion, from sadness toward joy.

joyous imparting of skills for living, including positive attitude, concentration, how to achieve one's goals, how to control emotions, how to work in cooperation and collaboration and how to be a friend.

personal development that includes physical education while consciously developing the child’s ability to absorb and understand.
