Globally Relevant and Compassionate Environment
We provide an explorer-centered, compassionate, and kind environment, for tweens and early teens integrating knowledge and self in the community of peers and society. While cultivating social awareness of our times we nurture the seeds of humanity, remain observant, and practice open-hearted communication. The explorers, staff members, and volunteers co-create the schedule of offerings.
Our members are homeschooling families that prefer learning in a community, rather than independent academic pursuits. The parents in our community have generally found our children to be more motivated to explore interests, engaging and exchanging energy and ideas with their peers. And, we simply do not value our kids "learning" conventional things in conventional ways.
We believe deep learning results from tending to their own joy, exploring interests, and following their passionate yearnings.
