WELCOME TO THE HOLISTIC LEARNERS COMMUNITY
Moving bodies, feeding minds, nourishing souls!
Our growing learning environment is designed for 3–10-year-olds to learn, explore and grow. At the core of our approach is the belief that teachers are educators, and their job is to take the interests of the kids and help them navigate those interests in a meaningful and concrete way. Days are organized, but not rigidly structured. Most experiences are guided and facilitated by the students. Students will develop confidence, helping them learn how to plan and organize their days. The emergent learning program is fluid, flexible and adaptable. Goals and standards are set, but they too emerge, for an individualized approach that gives kids plenty of choices. Using elements from multiple philosophies, we blend alternative school philosophies and create our own, emergent program.
From Tia Rendine,
Creator and Founder
“I don’t believe that kids can achieve their full potential by being married to only one philosophy or pedagogy. I think every child learns differently and I think merging several philosophies in a holistic and organic way is when we really see magic happen. There’s a lot that I love about different pedagogies, but I think you can become rigid, and we don’t want that. I believe that we can merge all of this depending on the day, the kid and the skill being taught and that’s where we find the balance,”
