Philosophy of the Compassionate Classroom

classroom

  • Every person is gifted, every person matters.
  • Mutual respect maximizes learning.
  • Natural curiosity leads learning.
  • Rejection breeds rebellion, acceptance can heal.
  • The Law of Kindness is the basis for every rule.
  • Students deserve relevant, inspired lessons.
  • Learning how to learn more deeply is more important than memorizing facts.
  • Seeing the unique person is the teacher’s chief task.

When we created our school, we left behind outdated ideas, creating an intentionally-small school in an innovative work space better able to deliver amazing, individualized education. We have distinguished ourselves as a school that successfully redirects challenging students and allows withdrawn students to shine. The social emotional component of our coursework, mostly designed in-house, is beyond compare.
