"The virtues to being a good student are not found in the alphabet or basic math. When a person's attitude is right; the focus is intense, the determination is limitless, and the learning happens organically and spontaneously.
The curiosity about life is the foundation to learning, it is like a searing hot coal. By focusing on the virtues of being a good person FIRST we create a better student later. This approach has been proven in student-led classrooms where students go through 2.5 grade levels in one year of "education". We prepare children to have the basic skills to succeed with this approach in schooling while impacting them with values of environmental stewardship and friendship to last them a lifetime."
