Imagination, courage, inventiveness, a way with elders, a capacity for humor—Concentric Learning nurtures projects that help children follow such overlooked gifts into more fulfilling, more generous lives. Children rarely have the chance to discover their most profound assets, but when they do, they can be who they were meant to be. This is true for all of us, but with their beginners’ minds, children are just waiting to shine.
Our role is to nurture new approaches to learning and to partner with others who want to bring these ideas to fruition. Our hope is that everyone who participates in Concentric Learning will find the understandings they glean breathtaking and life changing. When a child sees the jewels inside herself—the ones that don’t show up on test results—the possibilities before her open up clear to the horizon. And we believe, that if her future is brighter, the world’s is too.
