VISION
SAGE is a school based on the New Learning Culture model where
children’s learning is self-directed, sourced from their own interests and
passions, and supported by the nurturing guidance of adults. As a
learning community we cultivate each child’s connection to their authentic inner being, evoking
a deep self-awareness and a clear inner guidance system. In addition, we teach
children to positively process emotions, successfully navigate relationships,
and develop a deep connection with nature alongside self-motivated experiential
and academic learning. Our focus is to completely support this new,
awakened generation in joyfully expressing their wisdom and gifts to bring
forth a peaceful, loving and compassionate world.
MISSION
SAGE empowers diverse learners aged 4 - 22 in developing the inner skills of confidence, optimism, self-awareness, and social-emotional well-being instead of purely focusing on academics, facts and figures. SAGE is based on the New Learning Culture model, which honors the relationship between cognition and emotions, head and heart, and where a child’s genuine needs are fulfilled as part of the learning process.
Our school is housed in a nature based setting and offers an emotionally safe environment with rich hands-on learning opportunities, tailored to each age-group and designed to support self-directed learning. This allows each learner to gravitate naturally to their preferred learning modality, proceed at their own pace and ensures the success of ALL learners, including both conventional and alternative learners.
Parents, siblings and extended families are included in our learning community and course offerings are available for them and by them. In this way a cohesive community with shared ideals, values and skills is created.
* The paradigm shift we pursue at SAGE is non-sectarean, non-religious, non-political and is based on perceiving children and adults with respect and trust. It is a paradigm that values collaboration over competition. SAGE is a leap out of the box, an adventure and experiment to fill the known gaps and create a new alternative in education.
