What Do You Want for Your Child?

What are your hopes and dreams for your child—not just for kindergarten or first grade, but for the whole of his or her life? Happiness? Peace of mind? Love? Financial security? An awareness of the greater purpose and meaning of life?

No other influence outside the home will have a greater impact on whether your child achieves these important goals than the time he or she spends in school. In Living Wisdom Schools, the goal of education is the same as the goal of life: to help children become successful, mature, effective, happy, and harmonious.

Our small class size allows us to give individual attention to every child, every day. We offer an enriched, balanced academic curriculum that challenges the students at all levels of development.

Read more about: True Maturity True Maturity. Success in life means more than just finding a good job. One must also know how to interact and respond appropriately to the people and circumstances that life brings. A fundamental goal of Education for Life is to bring each child to true maturity, which we define as the ability to relate appropriately to realities outside our own. Under the guidance of skilled teachers, each student becomes more aware of his or her emotional reactions. Through consistent practice, they learn to rise above moods, resolve conflicts, nurture friendships, and cooperate with others.

The Inner Life. While eternal spiritual principles lie at the core of our approach to education, we do not provide “religious instruction” in the traditional, parochial sense. The focus here is on developing qualities that are universally valued in all religions, such as inner peace, love, wisdom, and joy. Children of many faiths attend Living Wisdom School, and find that their understanding of their own faith is strengthened by their experiences here.
