The first great lesson
From the first day of class in elementary school, we factually demonstrate how the universe and earth were formed. Presented in an overview fashion, teachers create experiments that help transform one big lesson into many smaller lessons. Via 80 large visual charts and corresponding lessons, the school focuses on each child’s curiosity and enthusiasm to present new topics like astronomy, chemistry, physics, geology and geography. As students thumb through each chart, they see what they want to learn more about.

Every living thing has a job to do to contribute to life on Earth. From a visual timeline of life that breaks down eras, evolution, extinction and the like,our children learn about dinosaurs, animals, plants and microorganisms—and how they all connect via topics and experiments.
The third great lesson
What makes man special? How did we evolve from living in caves and creating fire to fashioning tools and machines? What does man possess that animals don’t and what makes us different? Through discovery and invention, human beings have become the dominant species on the planet. Man has built a vibrant history from tools, farming and food preparation/storage to shelter, transportation, medicine, art and spirituality. Most importantly, children learn to understand their existence, their place in the world and their personal responsibility in bettering society and the universe.
