Excellence without stress. Much of the rote memorization, standardized testing, and hyper-pressure that is commonly applied to elementary school children nowadays is actually detrimental to their long-term development and success, in academics and in life.
At Living Wisdom School, children are taught to be independently curious, enthusiastic, and disciplined in all their endeavors. We prepare our students to do well in standardized testing, but at the same time, we know that children develop at different rates. Forcing a child to learn too fast may constrict or bypass vital stages in their development.
Other children need to advance more rapidly than the average, and they are given ample opportunity and encouragement to do so at Living Wisdom School. Our low student-teacher ratio makes it possible for each child to receive individual attention, every day. As a result, students are able to thrive, but without the stress that usually accompanies high performance.
How each child's performance is evaluated: The children receive narrative evaluations, which are universally recognized by high schools and middle schools.
