Thank you for dropping by....​
​
What we have here is a learning program designed and led by me . I continually use my skills and wisdom as an individual, parent, educator, and entrepreneur to define and expand the boundaries of what I offer to students.
The Agricultural Model of Education​
I have modeled this academy on the foundation of Sir Ken Robinson’s philosophy.
In the year 2014, years before I started this, I was blown away by Sir Ken’s Ted Talks and created a video to encapsulate his thoughts on education . I called this video the ‘Agricultural Model of Education’.
The video is the blue print for what we do here:
​
Education is an organic process, not a mechanical one
Human resources, like natural resources are buried deep. They need to be uncovered. I see our academy as the farm and us teachers as the farmers who create the conditions for growth.
Nature is free in her expression yet gives the earth structure. Our learning environment is scaffolded to promote creative expression.
Parent-Teacher Team​
​
As parents/potential parents of this learning academy, you have chosen or will choose an alternative education experience for your child.
Our current community of families understands and believes that the changing world requires a skillset grounded in soft skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and wisdom. These skills can only be taught in a setup like ours that promotes personalized learning.
​
Parent-Teacher communication forms a big part of our model. I like to think of us as a team working towards the same, all-important objective of equipping your child with all that’s needed to excel in a fast, changing world.
​
In me, you have a dedicated and experienced team-mate with over two decades of professional experience in the field of education.
The Goal
​
Self-Direction, Curiosity and a clear Sense of Purpose is what we are aiming for. Academically we aim that our students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and grit to pass any high school equivalency exam.
