Learning to Be

The Hero’s Journey, relational covenants, and real-world consequences transform difficult decisions into virtuous habits.

 

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