Love of Learning and Core Phase

Mentors, parents, and students will work together to create an atmosphere of great learning and inspiration for each individual student. Children should feel safe and secure in this environment and have the opportunity to learn from each other and their friends' parents. The "lessons" will be geared towards the Love of Learning age kids, 8-12 years old, to build intrinsic motivation for study while always returning to the core phase lessons.

AGES:  Approximately 0-12. Families will have the opportunity to come together to learn and grow in a similar manner as learning at home: on mom's lap surrounded by mixed age kids. We will group 4-6 families of mixed ages.

LEARNING ACTIVITES:

• Reading and discussing books

• transformational models and simulations

• field trips and guest speakers

• Working on individual projects and goals of interest and sharing them with the class.

• Class service project each quarter chosen by the class and carried out as a group.
