Our Learner Driven Community is run mostly by our students, where closely connected families of lifelong learners are bound by clear covenants; and “Learning to Be” and “Learning to Do” are even more important than “Learning to Know.”

Our motto is Nascantur In Admirantine in the spirit of Ad Astra Per Aspera.

Let them be born in Wonder
