We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and “success,” defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and challenge.

We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers.

A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death. ~ Chris Hedges

Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
~ Marian Wright Edelman

10% of what they READ,
20% of what they HEAR,
30% of what they SEE,
50% of what they SEE and HEAR,
70% of what they SAY, and
90% of what they DO and SAY!

If you erase all the mistakes of your past, you
would also erase all of the wisdom of your present.
Remember the lesson, not the disappointment.

Education breeds confidence.
Confidence breeds hope.
Hope breeds peace.
~ Confucius

Students can gain valuable experience by participating in co-ops, internships, and volunteering.
All of which gives them the opportunity to apply what they learn to the workplace.

To help students understand and appreciate themselves as unique individuals who accept complete responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and actions.

To educate the whole person, not just the mind, since feeling
is not divorced from reason in decision making.

To help the learner become fully his authentic self.
