An attempt at holistic education...

Academic excellence is essential, but a school has to attend to much more than that.  How is it possible in our society to find places of learning that meet all of a child’s needs – not only academic but emotional and spiritual also? Should a school not be a place where the child and the adult have the opportunity to learn about the totality and wholeness of life?
