“Mom, I love school!”
Our parents hear these happy words often – and you can, too.
Parents seeking the right school for their children generally give first priority to academic excellence. At the same time, they look for a school where the children enjoy learning. Too often, these goals appear to be in conflict. But at Living Wisdom School, academic excellence and joy go hand in hand.
For 30 years, Living Wisdom School has helped children thrive academically. Our success is based on a tested principle: when children are happy, they approach learning with enthusiasm. Children who feel respected, included, and safe can relax and enjoy the challenges of a rigorous academic curriculum delivered in an expansive spirit of adventure.
Parents sometimes ask us, "Will my child be able to perform well when s/he goes out into the "real world?" Our commitment to teaching life skills such as collaboration and conflict resolution gives children the skills they need to face life in an authentic way. Our graduates demonstrate impressive compassion, poise, courage, and determination. They know how to laugh, they trust themselves, they practice kindness, and are lifelong learners. To discover how Living Wisdom students fare after leaving school, visit the Graduates page.
Three parents were chatting in the school office. One remarked that she had told her child, "If you don't cooperate, I won't let you go to school!" The others laughed, "We say the same thing!" They were delighted to discover that the other parents' children loved Living Wisdom School.
