“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.” Rudolph Steiner

When I met my life companion we where both high school teachers. One of the things we shared was our dedication toencouraging individuality and skill development in students, empowering them to live life fearlessly, with courage and persistence. I guess this is also part of the reason we resigned…we didn’t fit in the old-fashioned rigid educational system.

After our son Val was born, in 2016, our perspective on education went much deeper. We became aware of the importance of encouraging and supporting child’s needs and birth-given curiosity and hunger for the world around. Education based on unveiling child’s inner gifts, supporting and strengthening their skills, building their self-confidence, empathy and compassion for others, and cultivating a strong relationship and natural sensitivity to nature’s rhythms, became the only acceptable form of education we felt for our child, and all the children of the future.
