Each child is entitled to an education that is beautiful, experiential and supports them individually as well as supports them as part of the whole. Teaching is equally about the community where care to children is given, and each child, the family that surrounds them, the local community and living ecology, all play a part of the synergistic learning experience that is supporting a child's potential.

Approaches such as nature studies, place-based projects, agricultural learning, collaborative festivals, and the practical application of the arts build a child's capacity to grow as a community member, steward, and critical thinker.
